To move or not to move

Hello, 27M

i think this is the best place to ask this, i know its eventually my decision, but maybe i can get some insight from you all,

my dilemma is i live in a shithole country (north africa) with a good paying job at international company , now i won mext for masters in engineering ( same field of my undergraduate degree in home country which got me the job ), the plan is to get degree from one of too unis which will help me to get a better job abroad ( not in my home country) for example australia ,canada, gulf. or even japan ( which is work culture and payment is said to be bad but should be better than my home country)

I have 0 japanese, and the program im willing to take is in english,

after excessive search, i get that japanese universities are somewhat useless outside japan, also im not really "passionate" about research or grad school in general, i want to use the degree to open new doors for me, but after many reddit posts, i became hesitate, and thinking i should stay at my current job for now, what y'all think ( i have to quit to go there, i see the worst case scenario is me going back after 2.5 years "thrown in trash" and trying to get the same old job since master in engineering no one cares about in my country)
