Hey guys need some help,

Most of my friends are leaving to US for their masters, I am currently working in MNC (salesforce development) YOE-2 years. I’m not sure if I should also go abroad for MS or continue working here itself. The financial conditions at my house is not that great and I can’t live in US knowing that my parents will be paying huge amount for the EMI and will do cost cutting on their daily needs just for me to do the masters. Am I doing the right thing or is masters important?

First ask why do you actual want to do MS, what's your end goal?
If it's to make money, you can still draw good salary by negotiating/switching/up skilling.

If it of to gain knowledgeable you can take undergo online cheap or free courses, I'm there there would be some website or so which would give you the same knowledgeable at a fraction of cost of MS from USA. No point in getting into deep debt cycle.

So again ask yourself what's your end goal.

The MS can be helpful but it's not your only option. Don't sacrifice everything for it.

I went through a VERY similar scenario. I think it only works if you know the MS will have tangible benefit to your progression, and/or it's something that your management has implied would be good to have. If your parents are in dire financial straits though, I think it's better to look into switching/upskilling as the other comment said bc I think otherwise it's too much pressure on you

Answer depends on your risk appetite and talent.

I had filed a complaint against Goibibo, who delayed my flight cancellation request until 1 day before departure hence the airline charged a higher cancellation amount.

A friend of mine introduced me to the portal when I filed a complaint explaining the matter in detail, uploading Twitter DM screenshots, where the company was clearly denying responsibilities on the above.

Took 2 months but today my refund was initiated by Goibibo.

What is the solution? Provided I don't want to switch & increase salary just to provide more tax to govt or the work may increase more too.
