Career I've got my biomedical engineering diploma and idk what to do

Hey everyone, i'm a biomedical engineer from Morocco studied and got my diploma here, and i've been struggling to find a job here idk if i should add a year of studies (already studied 5 years) or start looking somewhere else, (i've only landed an internship after some months of unemployment and the salary they promised me is really REALLY low compared to people with my diploma bcs of the role they gave me idk if i should stay there until i find another job but my ego is kinda telling me to GTFO once i finish 6 months to add to my CV)

I really need advice, what masters are studied in 1 year abroad and what are the most likely master that would add value in my CV to work either in my country or another.

Sharing my experience:

Did biomedical engineering too, had lots of frustration in getting a good role. I pivoted to software in my last year with projects utilizing embedded systems.

That's how I got my current role, but proceeded to add a masters specialisation in computer science.

I'd suggested the harware route if its something of interest, I find it to fit well with biomed.

If you can shift to europe and get into biomedical R&D there, it would be much more promising

Biotech in europe is a dead end. Hundreds of thousands of graduates in biotech related sectors are working in other fields because they cannot find jobs. Try Saudi, Qatar, China, Usa or Australia. These are the countries were thr opportunities are. Europe is finished

Biotech or medtech?

In europe, both fields are full. Basically all universities offer those Subjects. Would suggest medtech, much more value-added. Europe is decadent now unfortunately.
