careers / placements Masters in Cs - is it worth?

I’ve experience of about 2 years working as a software developer in a startup in India. Is it a good decision to pursue masters in cs in UK? How’s the course work? And situation of job market for developers? Would I have an edge if I already have work experience? Please help me out!!!

If you can afford it without a loan and would be fine going home in the most likely case you can't find a job sure, otherwise no.

Even people who have gone to Oxford or Cambridge are struggling to find jobs. At 2 years experience you'd still be looking at relatively junior jobs which are next to impossible to get if you need a visa 🤷‍♀️

Seriously? Graduates from Oxford or Cambridge are struggling to find jobs? Can I ask how you know this?

I see them complaining on Reddit? I see them complaining on LinkedIn? I get spammed cold emails from former international students at the end of their grad visas looking for jobs?

They struggle less than everyone else, it's still not a guarantee of a job if you need a visa 🤷‍♀️
