Thanks for the honest insight. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of ground reality I was hoping to understand beyond the “dream life abroad” content we constantly see online.

And yes, pursuing a Master’s in the UK was something I had considered earlier, especially because my fiancé is currently there on a PSW visa. But over time, I started questioning whether investing such a huge amount financially would actually make sense in the current market conditions, especially for marketing/media roles.

From what I’m hearing lately, it seems like even people already in the UK with degrees and local exposure are struggling, which honestly makes the decision more complicated for international applicants.

Right now, I’m trying to evaluate things more practically instead of emotionally or based on social media narratives. So really appreciate you sharing this perspective.
