My long story short. I worked for a german software house doing opensource contributions to many projects like Kubernetes, OpenStack or Tensorflow. As my company was stricly german there was no option to relocate to USA. Aftet I discovered EB2-NIW program I hired an US immigration attorney for $6k. He drafted petiton and in just 5months I had an appoitiment scheduled in consulate and my visa was approved. This was in October 2022. I got a job offer from Nvidia on January 18th 2023 and they offered: $250k base, $200k stock, $25 signon and relocation package. My previous german TC was around $120k. God blesd america and EB2-NIW program! BTW My profile I had +200 citations, 4 patents and regurally speak on many opensource conferences all over the world.
That stock will double or more in next few years.
Congrats! Welcome 🙏
What field are you in? Santa Clara is gonna be USA on hard mode but the silver lining is the massive chain of national forests to the east that you must visit during your time here.
Do you have a PhD?
no
Impressive. How did you manage to get 200+ citations without one?
Welcome to our country! While you’re here you should also look into some political differences and how America is so much better than Germany in that regard. Specifically the first two amendments
Op this person is a troll
What the heck? What is wrong with what I said? You just seem to be either jealous or not appreciative of this country
Your most important skill that you didn't list - congrats for choosing your place of birth wisely
I was born in Romaina and moved to germany 20 years ago with money just for a few days of food. Don't tell me anything about being born good!
Many people were (Inc me) born in similar or worse circumstances just in different geography. Good on you for breaking out 👍. Just remember the privilege of country of birth when praising eb2niw
Welcome to land of opportunity. Congrats escaping that German socialist shithole.
