Quit masters? Offered grad scheme

[seenna]

After many years of knockbacks, I've just been offered my DREAM job (from a tech giant). I am so unbelievably happy and grateful. At my lowest moments, I didn't want to be alive. The support from mumsnet has been incredible- thank you!

The grad scheme starts in September and I am currently doing a masters I don't really enjoy. Would it be short-sighted to drop out, get a retail job and save for an amazing trip in Aug and laser treatment for laser hair (pcos). The offer is not contingent upon completing the masters.

I will be getting a 3k welcome benefit so will be able to use this.

I am very torn!

The Masters will make you more competitive post the grad scheme...... You've a long career/careers ahead of you, play the long game...

Did you put that you were completing a master's on your CV or in interview? It might have given you the edge and in the future you might get overtaken by fellow colleagues that have or are doing a master's. Shame to waste all that work.

Well done on the job OP

Do the Masters - your future self will thank you for it.

You are almost there, don't give it all up now after all the hard work to date.

The next five months are going to go by anyway.

Yes, you could go travelling, but the world will be out there waiting for you next year, and the year after that.

I’d definitely complete the Masters.
