Yes, gaining one or two years of work experience before applying for a master's abroad can significantly improve your job opportunities after your studies.
Work experience strengthens your application, helps you develop practical skills, and gives you a clearer sense of your career goals. Many master's programs, especially in fields like computer science, value applicants with relevant experience, which can also make you more attractive to employers after graduation.
