"German job market has collapsed" what should be my next move

Careers

Btech: Electronics and Telecommunication

1.8yrs analyst experience

My initial plan was to move to germany for masters but as the days go I think of giving up on that as u can see the job market is cooked, I know it's all over the world but to go to Germany i will be investing some funds.

To go to Germany i will have to take loan of 15L but this loan would be like life ending burden as by the time I pass my german degree my father will easily pay 40%-50% amount and rest i will have to manage but this is only this positive if I find a job in first semester (odd job/werkstudent etc) to finance myself in as for second year i can't ask again my parents for money .

Also health wise I suddenly got sick I am at home since 4 months recovering and now due to this my parents are even more worried to send me abroad but I know I will recover the point i wanna make is I am a bit health sensitive with sinus and all.

Next what I wanna let y'all know is I will be european citizen in 5-6 years.

So what should I do?

Take risk now if german as the market might get better in future

Or

Stay in India get more experience and Direct move for job, the negative part about this is I won't have much independence as now i just turned 24 and have no responsibility and in coming 5 yrs I might get married and all.

I know guys the job market is bad everywhere u have to work hard in Germany u doesn't get everything on plate , the German language is important and everything.

Some students even with b2-c1 ain't getting jobs as certificate ≠ fluency
