I am working as a software research Engineer in a renowned electronics corporation.
It’s around one and half year. I also like the research topics with which I am involved. But as I have no PhD now I am in a total dilemma, I should leave this job to do a PhD? or I should stay here and gather experiences? Confusion increases so much after reading some post on PhD vs. Job experience. Most are saying that PhD can't substitute work experiences. Somebody please give me some suggestions.

If you enjoy your job, I think you would be crazy to leave and start a PhD particularly in this economic climate. PhDs are not after all required or even thought beneficial for very many jobs as many of us on this forum have found out painfully... Perhaps when you've been there for a couple more years, you could persuade your employer to sponsor you to do one part-time if it's something that would be useful in the longer term?
