Yea I have to agree with the others, further studies beyond a Bachelors for CS / IT / tech does not make much sense unless you're looking for either deeply specialized roles ( AI / Machine Learning / Computer Vision, etc ) or to be a Professor.
That said, I don't see any problem with your end result. 91k is pretty good no? What fresh grads are getting 91k? The only guy I knew in my
NTU batch getting that much was in ByteDance and uhh, he's FCH and he won those Shopee hackathon thing where they give you cash + a job interview.
The others that I know of are people in Shopee but didn't they have a mass layoff? Most of them got 84kish, 7k monthly, I've never heard of anyone getting 90k annual, at least not from my batch.
