I had 3 internships at Google at this point. I missed the opportunity to apply for internships in other places. At this point, I feel kinda stuck. I want to get into other places to get competing offers. Otherwise, I feel like I won't get a good offer, they know that I don't have anything else. The fact that I am from Europe doesn't make it easier. Getting an H1B is basically impossible. I also really want to do Machine Learning. Don't have any industry ML experience yet, but my BS specialization is Machine Learning and Applications. Facebook have their newgrad quota fulfilled with previous interns. This I know from a friend. But maybe there are other people that are willing to refer me? I have a bunch of experience, 3 internships, very good feedback from a couple of people at Google. Any other advices? What are some good European companies?
You will do fine... leet and profit. Good luck.
Is this a humble brag? I'm pretty sure Google wanting you 3 times can only be good.
There are a lot of companies that do sponsor H1b and have interesting work related to Machine Learning. Airbnb, Uber, Quora, Pinterest, most of the larger companies do. In fact a lot of them are hiring more outside the US (London, Vancouver, Toronto) due to America’s increasingly unfriendly immigration policies. A close friend is an MLE (machine learning engineer) at such a company and he interviews a lot of new grads. From what he says, as a new grad your courses matter a lot more than your work experience in getting the interview, and then it’s just a question of having solid interviews in algorithms / data structures and showing good domain knowledge.
wtf...
Surely your CV is fine, what miracle are you hoping for?
