Hi..
I need some career related advice. I am now 45 years old and have 11.5 years of experience. I have lost job due to some health related issues and currently on path to recovery. I have a bachelor in Economics degree and PGDCA in computers. I have experience in various forms as Technical support officer in BPO, Network operations engineer with an IT firm, market research analyst and program associate/coordinator. I am currently pursuing upskilling online through certificate courses in data science and cybersecurity. Do you think this is a good time to do a masters in information technology/AI & machine learning from USA or do a PHd in a STEM field from USA? Or should i upskill and look for jobs in india? Please advice.
Ans: Doing Masters or doing PhD from USA would be a great option, but considering your profile if may be difficult to get it. If you plan to self finance it, the cost could be very high and may not be worth it. My suggestion would be to first look for relevant job in India (Relevant job experience could help you to secure admission to a good college in US). If you are happy with your job then continue with it, else look out for other options.
