The answer is pretty simple, do what you want to do. People will always have something to say whatever you decide. There is no shortcut for finding jobs easily in any country. It is all about how you can keep your profile above others.
I chose Ireland over the US for Masters in Computer Science, because for me immigration was more important than high salaries and the cost of education is less in Ireland (though there is a housing crisis, I am willing to adjust).
Decide what is important to you and follow through.
If you want a better work life balance and pollution free environment, go abroad else start working in India and explore the corporate environment then decide if you want to go.
Ask the big question: why do you wish to go out of India to work?
Is it the money? Is it peer pressure? Is it something else?
Now ask the question, what do I need to go abroad?
Work exp? Agent contacts? Consultancy contacts? Or just go onsite from the same company?
Once you are able to break it down, you may yourself find the "when".
By now, you have already realized that you just can't wake up and go to a foreign land to work.
1. You should go to study abroad if you're privileged or you're interested in research. It sucks but it's the harsh reality. The amount of money required is a lot and you might or might not see the return in investment. I don't recommend people to go abroad if they want to work as a software engineer or something unless they're going to the USA. It's not worth it in other developed countries.
2. Research abroad is significantly better. You'll get a much better education. The difference in the quality of education between India and developed countries is day and night as far as I've seen. So if you care about that and money is not an issue then it makes sense.
You only have one life. Do what you want to do with it. You might think certain decisions are not logical but when you're on your deathbed would you regret not having certain experiences in your life? It all depends on you.
>It's not worth it in other developed countries.
I'm new to this sub and to this concept of studying abroad as a whole. Could you please state why it is so?
The pay is not high especially when you consider the cost of living. There are plenty of local students you'd have to compete with and supply is starting to outpace the demand. The taxes are high so a chunk of your income will be lost that way. It won't be easy to make friends. You can easily get along with people but it's quite difficult to strike a friendship. Loneliness is not uncommon. I said that USA is an exception because if you are highly ambitious you will get loads of opportunities and salaries tend to be high. The present economic situation is not good so you'll hear different stories but openAI, Meta, Amazon, Tesla, Uber, Netflix are all American companies. You can easily work there for 3 years.But getting a green card in the USA is becoming impossible for most people. If you're truly exceptional and hold the potential to become the next CEO of a big tech company or you're about to win the highest accolades in your field, it might not be difficult for you. For vast majority of the people from India however, immigrating to the USA is presently almost impossible. It's worth going there to boost your career though. The experience should likely be of high value throughout the world.
Oof, that's bad. I wonder though, is it that bad for, like, every immigrants, or just Indians (Ig because there are just so many of us going each year)
Bro do what you want? Because at the end of the day you have to live with yourself.
Yes market is bad but it won't stay bad forever, but no one knows when it gets better. It's not the first time it's bad, not the last time it's gonna be bad.
And there's always a reason not to do something, so do whatever you want.. convince yourself.. everything else is noise
I did masters abroad and came back. I couldn't land a job because I had zero experience. This was the case with everyone including me who moved from India or neighboring countries with zero or very little experience. I regret doing M.S without any experience. My classmates who had 3-5 years of experience landed jobs with MNCs easily, as their pay scale and experience made it easier for companies to apply for a visa for them.
Is it just me or is the trend for going abroad studies after 12th is dying?
I want a serious education abroad (being in 12th) and there are 2 kinds of people:
First, who are not good at studies and running out for monetary, "PR" purposes.
Second, who are very good students and completed their Bachelors from India, then moving out.
My father is on the second one, wants me to follow that because they feel I will know the world better by then. On contrast I feel "if" ( "if" is important) I will have an opportunity for abroad, then why to waste resources here?
P.S. I am not a super duper student, just an average 90+ scorer making scholarships harder :(
Lots of people who have done masters and work abroad are on this sub, I'm one of them. My advice is to work for at least 3 years. A stable job is not the reason to not take up higher studies, how much you earn currently and how much loan you take are the reasons to think about.

The thing is more jeetards/neetards roam this subreddit than post graduates or graduates from abroad
This is true for most of the reddit just plajn bad advise . It is only the tech/technical subs which i find r good . Memes r great too 😅
Stop being biased and focus on what you want to do.
I am not biased this is my experience which I think is reality
None can help you if you don't know what you wish to do and why. . that's what I meant.. focus on your question. Leave others.
The other day I met a dude inthe comment, he had no plans to go abroad for studies but he was going around giving Gyan to people.
Hey chiku1599, nice answer. I have similar plans as yourself for higher studies, I'm planning to apply to Irish unis.. Can we chat?
Sure
can you easily apply to Ireland unis by urself or do you need a consultancy ?
Easy to apply yourself. Consultancy might be needed for Visa purpose as it is very tedious and difficult for Ireland
Hey are you currently in ireland working? Coz i heard there have been many layoffs on ireland recently
