Do you mean that you are thinking of not working while completing your MS? If so, the lost income is worse than losing seniority. Just do night school if you can. it can be tough but we are talking about two years of income here.
It does make sense to do a MS, but have a job in mind like network engineer, developer, or technical manager that you want. A MS will be frowned upon by your bosses and your competitors, which is all the more reason to go for it. Nevertheless many corporations with strict pay scales will pay much more for a MS.
- subhro 14y agoI was considering going for GRE and then taking a break for 2 years to complete MS. I have not thought of night school and that does serve to be a very good option. Nevertheless, I would prefer to work in the US and study. The last I went to work for Facebook in Ireland, I found that they gave me a much less salary and designation than that I would have got if I worked in India. This may not be correct since FB never told me that the reason was my lack of MS. I have worked for MNCs like Yahoo and Juniper and also startups like iXiGO and iViZ. My position with Juniper as well as iXiGO was Senior System Administrator and Information Systems Architect respectively. I am essentially looking at a Technical Manager or Architect position. I do develop for pleasure, but I am more into designing things and coding stubs rather than coding end to end.
