Does getting a masters degree from local Uni part time results in salary adjustment if I am currently having a bachelor degree in the science field ? Thanks in advance?

It depends

​

There won't be any perfect answer to this question.

​

Let's assume that you are currently working in a field for which you've got the minimum academic qualification, that you are planning to grow your career in the same company and that you are also looking (as per your question) to have your salary adjusted.

​

Now, what's next?

​

Some suggestions but since we live in a world where information asymmetry is most often playing against us...please observe the world around you, learn what is working, what is not working and what could work...and plan accordingly while always adjusting your actions based on your own situation...

​

If you have already started doing so, Plan A could be...

1. Have goals and strive to achieve them, or at least, hit 80% of the goals you set...which means, they should be attainable yet challenging (a framework to guide you is GROW and pair it up with OKR)
2. Become the best in your role, i.e. develop an expertise and maybe get a postgraduate degree in your field but by specialising
3. Develop and strengthen your soft skills during your journey to develop your expertise

There are 3 more things for you to do now...and let's called it Plan B

1. Understand what could make your office world better, i.e. to people in your 1st & 2nd degree network such as your colleagues, direct boss, your boss' boss...
2. Never fail to show off what you've got and done in Plan A...
3. And, always go back to Plan A to improve Plan B's situations

Given that you've gone through the discoveries and learnings from your work experience, you made up your mind and decided to go back to school for your postgraduate degree on a part-time basis.

​

Well, if you've reached this stage and followed the plan, I think you're up to many options,

1. Your current company sponsoring (fully or partially) your postgraduate degree;
2. A promotion after graduation;
3. All of the above.

At the end of the day, a salary increment can be negotiated even without a postgraduate degree. But what can't be negotiated, are the skills you have to learn to survive in a world where information asymmetric plays against you. And whatever you've learnt belongs to you and up to you to package everything into your super power.

​

We all go through the same and we are learning, constantly.

​

Hope it clarifies some doubts you might be having.

I agree that you'd need to have some work experience in the field/job you're pursuing your masters for. Simply because like a subject does not mean liking the environment the work requires you to be in; which comes to the question of whether the masters would be useful or not.

​

Apart from the pros and cons analysis (costs, time, relevancy and other factors); if you are currently employed please don't expect your current employer to give you a increment based on your new qualification. They usually don't and if you are looking for salary adjustment it'd be in your next job during the negotiation stage.
