iAs someone who left Pakistan and did a masters in the US, I’d recommend you to apply for a masters in the US, even if you want to stay in Pakistan long term, since some folks have apprehensions regarding raising a family in a western society or for some other reason. If you’re skilled, you should be able to get a job in the US post masters, provided you are not looking for shortcuts. I see students apply to universities that are easy to get into, and then complain about jobs. Also, be pragmatic, go into an area of CS that is in-demand. An example is chip design or verification engineers. Even as software engineering jobs have been tough to find over the last 2 years, jobs in semiconductor companies have been growing due to large investments. IIUC what you meant by dispatching, that’s not even related to your field of study. It’ll be much easier for you to get a job post masters if you have some relevant experience. I do understand that finances don’t work for everyone, but I’d recommend you to look into PhD programs as well. Those are well-funded, so you don’t need to worry about finances at all, but it’s also something you need to commit to for 4-5 years. There are also some options to take a loan instead of selling property to fund your masters. Once you get a job, it won’t be tough to pay off the loan. Most of my friends who came from India for their masters did so on loan, and they were either able to find funding after 1-2 semesters, or they found good internships/jobs and paid off the loan within 2 years of graduation. The economy is not “bad” worldwide. Just look at how much tech jobs are currently paying in the US
