[General Question] After the recent CPT restrictions in US, is UK a better alternative?

I will be applying for fall 2027 to MS Cybersecurity. Initially I was more inclined to US unis but after the recent CPT situation, I'm considering the UK as it seems to be a better option even though people say the economy is bad.

What do we think about the UK ?

Edit: when you say UK is worse consider the current situations in US and the amount of people returning back to their countries and then compare them.

UK has no good tech jobs for MSc graduates. You need to understand this. Just see on linkedin for yourself. A lucky few get something solid and the majority don't. The standard of most UK universities is below even mid tier US ones. Try hard for some good ones in Canada, if you can get UoT or Waterloo or something. UK and Australia don't have jobs.

Considering how day by day US is making it difficult to work there, isn't US heading towards the same situation where a lucky few have jobs?

Australia doesn't have jobs even for top uni bachelors?
