Is it really worst time to pursue masters in US with goal of landing a PM role?

Question

Hi,I am in process to apply for masters in USA as an international candidate. I have struggled throughout life to reach to a level of financial stability where I can think of pursuing my dream of doing masters in USA followed by working there. But as all of you know the job market right now is really bad. Does it makes sense to apply to masters abroad by taking 80k USD in loan?

That's a tough situation for sure, the job market is super competitive right now, but it could be leveled out by the time you finish your masters. In any case, it could still be a worthwhile investment, plenty of masters-level opportunities should be out there.

Would you mind elaborating on your actual goal and where you are now?

Is your goal to end up as a PM? Is it to get a Master's degree? Does it really need to be from the US? Is it to just leave the country you are in? (I've got family for example who needed to leave where they were due to safety concerns).

80k isn't trivial and it would be good be really clear about your goal and clear also about the paths to get to that goal. I'll try to write more if/when you respond.
