Ask your settled cousins and get to know about situation in their companies, about immigrate jobs and visa issues. Then take a call, whether to go or not.....My always suggestion was to go out India at any point of time, if only makes sense for you.""There's no guarantee you'll even get an entry level position after MS right now. Best is to gain more work experience and apply for jobs directly," suggested another."If your end goal is to eventually move abroad, work a few more years in India, but make sure you do meaningful work and not in some sweatshop. Then come to a good university, not any random university, that will shape your future in a much better way. USA is still golden, but only for top talents," wrote a third user."Sell 2 acres , put money in fd live off intrest , do some medicore job in india ,stay away from tier 1 cities ,go to your Village and b in the 1 acre on ur terms .. stay away from 90% of problems .. it's a hassle in abroad any damn country," commented another."As someone who went to USA and came back to India, I'd say do your thorough due diligence before going anywhere. Best option is to always go with a job from India," said one user.(Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
