Average salaries after completing your master's abroad vary by country, field, and location. For the USA, master's graduates typically earn a median annual salary of around $95,680.

- Computer Science & IT: $100,000 - $130,000/year
- Data Science: $95,000 - $125,000/year
- Engineering: $75,000 - $100,000/year
- Business Analytics: $80,000 - $110,000/year
- Mechanical/Electrical Engineering: $70,000 - $95,000/year

Salaries are higher in regions like California and New York, but these areas also have a higher cost of living. Entry-level roles may start at the lower end, with strong growth potential as you gain experience. Actual offers depend on your specialization, location, and job market conditions.
