Hello, I am working as a software engineer at a global investment bank after graduating from IIT Kanpur( tier 1 university in India).

The work here as a fresher is quite repetitive and uninspiring.

I have started preparing for the company switch too but I feel my dissatisfaction comes more from corporate life rather than the bank work itself.

I feel that the work I do does not bring any impact in people's lives and I am just making money to live a better life and not actually utilising my skills and dreams to help people. Yes with my money I can help people but I feel if I dont actually like my work I will never be able to reach my potential in that.

I did some research in human- computer interaction at IITK which involved converting music(audio) to haptics and visuals to help people with hearing disability to perceive music which could also help patients in severe conditions like coma. I loved that work as it was interesting and I was learning so much more which actually made an impact on people.

I had to leave that research to do a corporate internship as in our college students mostly follow a herd mentality and try to get high earning jobs mostly for social status which they eventually realise after doing that job that it isn't something which they actually like - I was that student too.

I was finding about how to do masters/phd in Human computer interaction from a university good for that and better than IIT Kanpur so my career progresses positively. My degree was in Civil Engineering but I didn't like that and so opted for a software engineer job (most students in our college do that)

Alternatively, i have an option of studying for the civil services exam in India where I could make an impact on people but there is a lot of corruption prevalent in India and even the most integrious people have to bow down to that. And if I plan to do that I will not be able to actually learn and explore tech more which I loved as a kid and so wanted to be an engineer.

In research I want to be sure that after pursuing it I am in a better state than continuing my corporate job financially too as then it would end up being a regretful venture. I don't really have an idea how research and PhDs work and how I will be able to get a PhD directly or I should do master+ phd. It's difficult for me to get a PhD directly as my research experience in HCi was quite short (2-3 months) and I don't have much in depth knowledge, but I liked that field. Will professional experience at Deutsche help if I apply in german universities or other countries in Europe?

Can you please help me out if you have an idea or experience related to this and what should be my best path?
