Need Advice on My Software Engineering Career
Hi everyone,
I am from India and I'm currently working as a Software Engineer. I have 3 years and 7 months of experience, but I don't have a provident fund (PF) account from my previous employers.
I've been trying to look for jobs, but I've been getting rejected because I don't have a PF account. This has made me question what I should do next.
I'm thinking about pursuing a Master's degree and hoping to get placed in a good company through campus placements. I've done some research, but most of the posts I've come across say that online, distance, or correspondence Master's programs are not worth it, especially for software engineering jobs.
The problem is that I don't have enough money to pay for college. I could take an education loan, but that feels like a huge risk. Before that, I would also need to crack GATE and get into a top college, which is not guaranteed.
Right now, I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I continue looking for jobs, prepare for GATE and pursue a Master's, or consider some other option?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? I would really appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
