Should I stay in the UK for a computer science based masters degree?

Hi all!

I graduated in July 2025 in Software Engineering with a 2:1 in a non Russell group university in the UK. The job market has been tough as you’d expect!

I have been employed for few months now doing remote IT support which is absolutely better than nothing.

I have had a few interviews for SE based roles but nothing has come through there as of yet.

In terms of career progression in CS/SE, would you recommend pursuing a masters degree?

If so, would it be better to remain the in UK or travel abroad to study?

Thank you!
