Should I quit my current Job? /u/savagecl0wn CSCQ protests reddit

To start off, I am a recent graduate (23M) from India. I graduated from one of the top engineering schools in India, IIT Madras. I did my bachelors in Chemistry, and have an average GPA, I would genuinely consider it poor. I was never interested in Chemistry, and never really felt good through my degree. I was not even motivated to look for a masters degree back then during my last semesters.

I anyhow, tried to learn some coding, and got my job offer in an Airlines in India. I genuinely worked hard to learn some coding, and I enjoy my job very much now. My workplace is very friendly, I have very good people who work around me, I honestly enjoy going to the office daily. I also get very good travel benefits, and my salary is currently good enough, thanks to my degree from IITs. But my company gives very less hikes, and I think I can land a better job if I try hard. Also I am not very much interested to stay in India. I have lived outside for quite some time, and always wanted to move out. I work mostly with data and cloud in my department.

Now I am not very sure of what I should be doing, I would love to move out to one of the more developed asian countries, like HK or Singapore, I am mainly interested in asian countries but am considering options from western countries as well. I am not very rich, and cannot afford a 100k USD masters programme, and this makes me think twice.

The options I have are:

1. Stay in the same company for another few years ( I have just been in this company for 6 months, I am a 2024 grad.). The only two problems I have is my desire to move out and the lesser hikes and economic growth.
2. Move out for masters – I cannot afford most of the masters programmes as they are expensive for me and my family. Also, I would have to risk my job for this, it is considered to be a very good one by the society here.
3. Try to find a job outside – Genuinely, I find it very hard to find visa sponsorships, I am searching actively for good options but I think I have very less experience and the market condition is not the best right now for me to find good options. But anyhow, I am looking for government programmes and all that attracts young engineers from India to other countries.
4. To pursue an online masters in CSE while staying in the job – Do you all think this well help, for landing a better job later ? The advantage is that I have very less risk in doing this, I wont lose my job and could help my family economically. Eventually look for a better job and move out.

People have been warning me about the risk of losing my current job. But I think these are the years for me to explore options and take risks before settling down.

What could be the options other than this which yall think are worth taking a try ? Also can anyone provide me any sort of leads to any of these ? As experienced individuals, I think all of your opinions would be helpful. I think many would hate me for trying to migrate to another country and all, but I just genuinely want to help my parents economically and retire them soon.

Thanks for reading this post, I genuinely appreciate all of your efforts and wish you a great day, and a great year ahead. You all motivate me to become a better human. Happy new year !!
