Blind had influenced me, I'm going to chase the American dream as well. I'm an ECE grad not doing much or earning anything in India. Do I have a chance to get into any good universities for MS CS next year? (Anything decent and less cost will do) Just want to learn the basics and LC on the meantime. Gimme some suggestions and Share some knowledge with your boi.
Do college grades, projects still decide admissions to most MS programs?
Yes unfortunately
Don't get me wrong, but why don't you LC grind and switch to a better pay? I did it in literally < 2 months after I started LC (after a gap of 6 years since last DSA prep).
Hey sorry op I have no answers but I too will be in a similar boat in a year. Please let me know what you've decided
Sure, it's better to stay in touch. We can do the process together maybe?
Are you looking for TC or more for Masters for knowledge? If former better do LC and move internally. Also realize there is a huge wait for green cards and unless you come here as a manager you will always remain on Visa.
I'm looking for TC in the long run, masters seemed like a nice way to get there and cover my lack of prerequisite knowledge in CS. Also, I have no idea it was possible to move internally to the US. If that's an option I'm more than happy to prepare and apply.
You won’t learn that much in Masters unless you are focused on going deep into something. I know plenty of people from Amazon Google and Microsoft who moved to the USA after reaching the level required for an internal transfer. Also with all major colleges putting their curriculum online you can learn whatever you are interested in for free instead of spending 50 lakh and 2 years of your career.
If you want to settle, explore Canada. Much better in terms of visa
I agree, I've read all the H1B bashing on blind. But how is Canada really in terms of opportunities and salaries? I wouldn't want to come back to India.
India is way better than Canada in terms of job opportunities and Salaries, lot’s of Indian startups are there who pay a hefty amount of money, I would rather stick to India do some online course, there are many which teaches you a lot and save my 50lakhs of MS money + 2 years salary and invest in some property.
What’s your GRE score? Are you applying for fall2022?
320, gpa 9, one paper Yes fall 2022 if this thread can help me decide
I had 8 Yoe at a startup with top tier publications and patents.. I did MS from one of the top 5s .. ended up with a student loan of 60K.. not worth it.. None of companies care about your university or degree.. rather grind LC get into a FANG and then relocate ..
what is the internal criteria to relocate in Google / Amazon?
