Is M. Design from IIT-IDC Bombay really worth it?

I am working for 1.5 years in a Hyderabad startup as UI/UX Designer. After Btech I did a certification in UI/UX and got job from the institute placement only. Will a master's from IIT-IDC Bombay will be worth or should I climb the regular conventional ladder by jumping from company to company for package hikes?

If you getting paid well and you're willing to seriously upskill from time to time i see no point in doing M.Des. It's all about having a great portfolio.

like

The M.des program gives you a design foundation in terms of education and exposes you to the various nuances of design. But it's not really required if you know the craft, end to end. At the most M.des from an IIT will help you get a slightly Higher pay.

IMO, It's a fun 2 years where you get to learn about design and you get paid a stipend for it as well. If you want to get a better foundational understanding of the design field, i say go for it

Interviewing with 2 companies for creative positions and may be getting offers next week. Thankful for your insights as I weigh these options.

A: Hospital | $125k
Team is frighteningly lean. Totally swamped. Plans to scale up, but will it be enough?

B: SaaS Startup | $100k + $15k bonus. Equity with an IPO looming.
Team is much more robust. Lots of ex-agency folks.

I'm 41. Wife and baby. Money is important, but I would accept a little less money for WLB, career trajectory, and/or stability.

They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
