"Work From Home Politician"

"He needs to come out of his house and do something"

"Crowds wont convert into votes"

"Pawan Kalyan also got such crowds"

"Dont worry Anils, anna will be right back to acting once he loses the election"

If there's one thing this proves, it is that if you wholeheartedly want something, even if the whole world is against you wanting it, and even if it means you give up everything comfortable in your life, you can still f*cking get it.

One clear thing I see is, the tears are from the abroad and few chennai people. The lavish mfs who have got all the development and luxury. If you wanted DMK to continue, just tell me when was the last time you've been to Madurai, Salem, Kanyakumari, Namakkal or any small town?

Just developing Chennai and Coimbatore (decently) is never going to be enough! People are sick of the situation and want more progress. Not sure if TVK can bring it. But atleast there's hope in change.

Hey everyone, I am at a major crossroads in my career and need some unfiltered advice.

About me: I have 7 years of (SDE) experience working for 2 major US-based MNCs. I am currently jobhunting for 4 months in Dubai, living with my wife, who has a great, stable job here.

I have a choice between two paths, and I am struggling to figure out which one is the actual "smart" move right now.

**PATH A: The US Master's Route**

Stop jobhunting, leave the UAE, and move to the US to pursue a Master's in Engineering Management (MEM).

• The catch: Taking on massive student debt, and leaving my wife in Dubai.

*PATH B: The Debt-Free Upskill Route**

Stay in Dubai with my wife, aggressively upskill and save money.

• The catch: Missing out on the US prospects and wondering if I am limiting my long-term career growth.

A few years ago, taking out a huge loan for a US degree was a no-brainer because the jobs were practically guaranteed. Today, taking on massive debt just to enter a hyper-competitive, shrinking job market feels like a massive gamble with the constant tech layoffs, high interest rates, and AI rapidly changing the landscape of tech jobs.

I have been struggling to land an interview in Dubai as well so I'm thinking of doing a bunch of certifications and upskilling.

What is the smartest career move in the current global economy?

Any reality checks or insights would be massively appreciated!

Hey everyone, I am facing a massive crossroad decision and could really use some unfiltered advice.

My Profile:

* Indian citizen, currently jobhunting (for 4 months) in Dubai. Living with my wife, who has a stable, well-paying job.

* 7 years of experience working for two major US MNCs in India.

* B.Tech from a Tier 2 university in India, I was a university rank holder with a 9.9 CGPA.

I just got admitted to Northeastern University (NEU) for their MS in Engineering Management (MEM) for Fall 2026 with a massive 45% tuition scholarship package.

I have previously gotten admit for USC MEM but cancelled due to COVID. Now I'm tempted to reapply.

With the rise of AI and non-stop tech layoffs, I am honestly terrified of taking any decision right now.

My Options:

* Option 1: Take NEU for Fall 2026. It is significantly cheaper with the 45% off.

* Option 2: Ask NEU to defer my admit to Spring 2027. Also apply to USC for Spring 2027. Decide what to do after a couple of months.

* Option 3: Cancel Master's plan and continue upskilling and jobhunting in Dubai.

Basically, my question is: Go big or go cheap in this economy and job market?

Does the USC brand name actually shield you from the brutal US job market right now? Or does NEU’s Co-op program combined with graduating with half the debt make it the smarter financial move?

Keep in mind that as a Spring intake student at USC, I would likely miss out on my first summer CPT internship.

Any reality checks, advice, or insights would be incredibly appreciated!

P.S - I have enough savings to get me through 2026. Wife can also support me.
