Career after B.tech Computer Science Engineering?

In general, there are two things to consider. First is whether you actually want to pursue a higher degree like an MS. Find out what courses your particular university requires to attain that, and find out a bit about those courses -- difficulty, content, etc.. The other is to simply look at what you have to gain other than satisfaction from attaining that degree. In my first assignment at Bell Labs, I was simply told that no one without an MS or higher could be hired. For me, the answer was simple, because I was offered a full scholarship and salary. Of course, the catch was that I could not spend more than 11 months completing it all, and actually ended up spending 9 months. But in that time, especially being asked to study things that I had not actually been introduced for my BS, I learned quite a lot of new things. In your case, you'll have more flexibility and time. However, you should compare what it will cost you to go to school for that extra time, how long you intend to take, and how much more the higher degree is apt to pay you in salary at some of the companies you're targeting for employment. Obviously, your performance will be a large part of it, but you can get an idea of the average salary difference by asking those companies, their respective HR departments or company employees. It's simply a matter of math, statistics, and desire. And as an engineer type, that should be a piece of cake for you.

Many employers would rather see you have some practical experience in your field before considering you to be a probable candidate with a higher level degree. Also, many employers may assist an aspiring employee with assistance with advanced degrees, if it is advantageous to the company and the employee.

Whatever your decision, it is wise to get to know yourself better to see how your personality traits relate to people who are successful in your area of interest and meet and talk to people who are doing what you think that you want to do, so that you can see what they are doing, how they got there, and see what advice and suggestions that they might have for you.

Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many .
