These is about career decision i took a year ago. It was to join for MS by Research program through GATE 21 exam. Score wasnt good enough to get into top instituion. Thought i will go for second attempt. But then doing that without job at hand wasnt good. I gave lot of interviews went on to final talks, but then never received anything from organization. It was very difficult phase. Yet with some valid GATE score i realized i could go for research fellow position at any institute for research project. Thankfully i got that. At the same time i received good news from very good companies but then i was already onboard and denied those mails. So far, research work is going well, here and there few roadblocks i faced but eventually is going well. Problem is now timelimit. I have like 5 months in hand before funding would be cut. (challenge)
Plan was to based on these exprience go for MS/Phd abroad. I need to work up my ass off. Side by side find a research potential area while doing relevent courses. Its been 5 months now already.
Oh and before that i was bitten by startup bug in final year of my bachelors, and worked for 2 years with a startup orgnization at end i felt not working in the potential domain to learn market gap and have my own thing to start, also found myself very limitted with expertise on stuff i did worked on. Hence idea of MS by Research to develop that expertise.
