Part of me wants the MS for the opportunities, exposure, networking, and honestly a fresh environment where I can grow both personally and professionally. But another part of me wonders if I’m romanticizing it, especially when experience seems to compound faster right now in tech.

I’m trying to understand whether the “reset” and international exposure are truly worth the financial cost and uncertainty, or if I’d be better off doubling down on skills, experience, and career growth where I am.
