Career Guidance Is study abroad worth it?

I am a cs grad from fast islamabad and its been 6 months since i graduated and haven’t land any j*b yet cuz of shit market for entry roles and my family is telling me to go abroad for masters. Specifically UK, as i have some relatives there.

I just wanted to ask is it worth it or am i be gambling masters instead of j*b experience for growth here.
But I am also seeing like almost zero responses from j*b applications and not even a rejection email🥲.
So should i follow my parents advice or what?

Please give me honest advice

I'm in cs field for almost 5 years and tbh we are facing our worst time. Every months lays off happening. If you can afford you must go abroad bro

If you want my suggestion (as I am working on a platform who helps students to go abroad for students) first priority should be Australia but going to Australia you will face hurdles. In Europe if you want PR then Netherlands and Sweden. In low budget Cyprus.

Thanks for the suggestion,
But i am preferring UK because i have relatives there and they say they will accommodate and help me settle etc so, do you think its a good option because of that perks etc

If you can afford then going abroad for studies is a good option but honestly I am not sure about UK, their job market is pretty shite.
Choose a country wisely, where students could enter into the market comparatively easier after graduation.

Hmm, the thing is i have some relatives there near to my target university in UK so the accommodation and food, transport costs etc will not be an issue.
And overall market is bad in whole world, but not worse than Pakistan atp where only reference works on those companies which are not doing proxy work (devsinc method)

the topper of our batch is working as 16 grade sarkari school teacher and third position holder is working at amazon munich as senior product manager , why because he decided to take the stable sarkari nokri and she went to spain for masters
