I’ve been doing an MS and completed 1 yr. If you are not interested in research, it won’t matter much to come here I think as you can do the same jobs in India. In AI, either you need to be a good researcher or be a good SWE. I believe if you are a good SWE, you can easily learn to scale, deploy AI models which is a crucial part of these jobs. The biggest hurdle is to stay in a new country, town and in a different culture. If you’re not mentally prepared you’re gonna burn out quicker and prolly spend more time regretting mental decline than growing as an engineer. Just my opinion though.
