Which experience do you count when telling yoe (on Blind, during negotiations, in LinkedIn summary, etc.)
My experience before US was more relevant than now. It would be fucked up not to count it. What if someone spends a few years outside US then comes back ?
I totally agree. Unfortunately majority of the companies don't.
What is the reasoning for this ? So a DeepMind engineer or researcher who has been doing pioneering AI work in London in the last few years will be offered a new grad position coming to the US ?
time outside US counts, but time in India doesn't.
Haha.
Companies which have separate HR unit for university recruiting tend not to consider prior experience(including FANG’s) while recruiting students. I have seen cases where they didn’t consider the experience even in the same company and team. In such cases they told candidates that they can hire them without interview but can’t hire at same designation. They will have to start a new grad and will get promoted quickly. Companies always look for options to save money and they know that students need job to pay off loans and use it as a leverage and in case of international students they have more leverage as these students need a job to maintain their legal status. In short, if you are student it rarely counts for your first job.
if your work experience is in English and related to current position,that should be find.
Most people assume that if you're graduating from a university, you'll be hired as a new grad. This is a good and a bad thing. Good because there are many more new grads positions available and bad because you start at a lower rung. I have friends who went straight from working outside of the US to working in the US and their work experience was considered and factored into their new role (level and compensation).
Depends on the company. If it's someplace I've heard of or can easily research, great, I'd count it in talking to a candidate. If not, maybe not. If it's a big outsourcing firm, definitely not. Of course, that goes for the US, too. One prior employer got a bunch of applicants out of Accenture and IBM Global Services. I don't recall ever interviewing one from either where it wasn't a strong no hire.
FANG won't count shit consultancy xp. Work in us tech maybe counted.

Is your experience outside the US not experience? This post is very confusing.
Because even after working for 3 years outside, after masters they hired most of us as a new grad.
I too faced the problem that Veritas is talking about. I had 3 years experience at Microsoft before masters. FANG offered only sde1 post masters. Declined it for a better offer which considered my experience but used it against me in negotiations. They didn't explicitly say non-US but used the 1.5 year gap in work ex for discounting my 3 yoe. A masters in CS is hardly a gap.
