Should I think about going for a masters now or wait for some months to get placement in hand in Singapore/UAE?

It depends on your career goals and the application timelines for master's programs in Singapore and the UAE.
- If you wait for a job placement, you might miss key application deadlines for the September 2026 intake. Many universities in both countries have strict timelines, often closing applications several months before the intake starts.
- Gaining work experience can be valuable, but job searches in Singapore and the UAE typically take 1 - 3 months or more, depending on your field and the job market.
- If your priority is to start your master's in 2026, it's best to begin your applications now to avoid missing deadlines.
