Opportunities for advancement are mostly provided to these guys, while locally born-and-bred guys like me are given supporting roles.
Not too sure if a Masters would help... I asking here 'cos I not too sure if it would be time and money well-spent on a Masters degree (in engineering).
Your advices would be very much appreciated. |
In most cases your role in the view of your boss is already fixed. Even if you get higher education or do self improvement course, it is unlikely to change the mindset or the mental mold of your manager on you. If he thinks you are not up to it, even if a position opens up, he will offer it to someone outside and not to you. Once you touch ****, it belongs to you forever. Most local managers are like that.
Best to leave and seek other opportunity.
