It depends on your career goals and personal preferences - both staying in Ireland and returning to India offer strong opportunities in Food Science and Technology.

- Ireland: The food industry is robust, with about 80% of graduates employed within nine months. Entry-level salaries typically range from €27,900 to €78,000/year, depending on role and experience.
- India: Returning with a Master’s from Ireland can lead to roles like Food Scientist, Quality Control Manager, or R&D Specialist, with entry-level salaries usually between ₹4,00,000 and ₹12,00,000/year.

Consider where you see your career in 5-10 years and which environment suits your long-term aspirations. If you need tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
