In my current situation with a job offer but no joining and long delays, should I wait for the job or move abroad now in UK for a Master's?

It's best to move forward with your plans to study abroad rather than wait indefinitely for a job offer without a confirmed joining date.

Pursuing your master's in the UK as planned will keep your education and career on track. Delaying for a job with uncertain timing could set back your long-term goals, while a UK degree can improve your qualifications and future job prospects.

Since you haven't taken the IELTS yet, start preparing for it soon to meet university requirements. If you need help with your timeline or balancing decisions, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the next steps.
