Hi,
I'm a mechanical engineer working in design and development. I work on an automotive product, I have handled everything from concept development to series production release. I have a total of about 3 years experience, all 3 in this same role.

I'm considering doing my MTech, ideally in an IIT. Is it worth it? What kind of impact would I see on salary and jobs? What specialisations should I consider? Any other alternatives i should consider?

Ps: my current salary is about 9 LPA

If you want to stay in technical field and move into R&D. Mtech is good option but not necessary. If you aspire to move into management side Mtech won't help that much. Overall I'll advise to not quit job in this market instead switch jobs till you reach a position where Mtech is necessary or MBA is necessary then align yourself to a company that will sponsor the same. (This is only my advise. I don't like taking loans or staying unemployed so I said this.)

Go for a MTECH from a good Institute, IIT Or BITS. But make sure you choose the right stream.... It could be EV, fuel cell tech or even something progressive from the IT domain.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
