There is no minimum score, everything has a certain weightage (in some cases it is explicit in others it is not)

For example a friend has a 630 GMAT who works at McKinsey but at same time has very good experience (8 years in pharma and health care , lot of promotions, very impactful work)

On the other hand I have a 760 , 3.8/4 and very average work ex (no big name company, couple of promotions) and I still interviewed with M and landed a job at K

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA
