ms vs job
2 yr msbr has created lots of confsion. i am kind of confused between the options msbr and job.
why job -
- its easy, less competition. and i am confident to fetch best jobs.
- i am afraid of 3 more yrs at iiit
- i can’t wait for 3 years. i have lots of things to do before that. i am afraid of being late. i cannot loose my love. its a very very crutial time for me, and
i have to take some decision, and stand for it. for that i need a job. i have to be in a position where i can said my family that i am going to marry her.
why msbr -
- because i want to do it. its my biggest problem. after i decide something, its hard, really very very hard for me to change the descision. i cannot go very
easily against all the planning that i have done.
- i want to study. I dont want to finish this life, this learning experiance.
- I am afraid of going into job. I think job will take all my freedom, all this hacking, and everything.
- she has 3 more years left for her B.Sc. So its okey for me to be here for 3 yrs.
“You’ve already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.”
well I have already made the choice of msbr. i am just confusing myself with these options.
most interesting :: i am thinking of keeping it 2 years. i dont want to make it 1 year. i don’t want to ask pjn sir to make it 1 year. i don’t know why, but 2 years
is attracting me. “Another choice”.
tomorrow i will meet pjn sir and say : “two years is fine for me.”
am i crazy ??

dude u r crazy !!
decide it weather u want to Study or Work. study can be done anytime even after job. ppl go for MBA and MS after 2-3 yrs of exp.
even i had a same plan.
#1 why u want to do MS ?
#2 what will u do after MS ?
Phd or try to get into a research lab, which is infact very tought after MS from IIIT. Or again come back for a job in the industy and start again as a fresher.
mind it .. if u opt for a job after MS (1 yr or 2) .. u will start as a fresher, u may grow faster ( but that will not because of ur MS but coz of ur capabilities)
#3 I suggest for an MS only if u
a) want to go to US and work there for couple of years and make money and come back after 3-4 yrs of exp and land up ina big company at a higher post.
OR
b) do MS and then Phd and land up in a research lab.
OR
c) opt for a academics ( research professor in any university)
# but in case u opt to work finally and u r not applying for MS abroad then it might be a case that u land up in the same companies u will this year and start again as a fresher. Obviously u will be paid more than the b.tech’s at ur time.
but it seems u have already made a choice and u r just trying to accept it. in that case my advice is just a crap.
i know u will do whatever u hv thought of ! thats y i never told u anything on this topic before, but after reading ur mail it seems to me that u r also doubtful abt it.
take ur time and think clearly abt ur AIM in future.

one more thing i forgot to tell u is !!
MS frm IIIT is lot different frm MS from US.
MS frm abroad fetches u options for a job in US and experience working in US. That counts a lot while getting a job in india.
PPL in our batch who started this MS .. thing .. having this MS frm IIIT as a backup plan. their Ultimate goal is MS frm US if they get it this time otherwise they’ll apply after one year for Phd.
ask Tarun or Bapu abt it.
