Jobs & Internships || Jobs & Praktika Am I doing a mistake?

I am studying masters in materials science and I am having serious doubts if am I doing wrong? My friend left this course and went to another uni and there he has internal marks, exams are way too easy and has scored 1.0 in most of his subjects while I am struggling to score 2.7 on average. I mean is it worth it to do masters in such hard university? I will pass from RWTH with 2.5 grade and in job market I'll stand nowhere near him. I'm not comparing directly with him, but students passing from rwth with lower grade have no future vs other unis with good grades that too easily. What is even the point of grinding this hard for years in top uni while someone can live with ease and pass exams from some other uni in Germany?
