    @Sriram: Hi. And welcome to CE.

    Many engineers like you are always in dilemma. Try to ask yourself as to what interests you more right now.
    Is it necessary for you to take up the job?
    If you are applying for M.S. , what are the subjects you are taking? Do you REALLY want to pursue that subject as a career in future?
    Or are you applying for GRE only to visit a foreign land?

    Answer those questions in your mind and you will get the answer.

    PS: Don't get under peer pressure. Don't choose something because your friends told you to do it.

    Job experience less than two years won't really count. If you are committed to GRE, Now that November 16 is just few days away, why are you thinking about jobs? Give it a full go and don't even think about anything else. Post 16 November, you'll have a clear idea of what you're going to do next. If your score is good, you may decide on taking up a job for few days or just chill-off until your study session starts. If not, you always have the option to look for job and keep studying for the GRE.

    Does this help?
