I am so sad that job switching is the best way to getting a raise as this thread proves. That being said i went from $85k to $125k by doing my research on salaries for my role and asking for it. Ask your company for what you are worth!!

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

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted.
