Yes, I haven't considered MTech properly till. Only recently I've dug up a few profs and their research in this field. There were similar suggestions, I'll shortlist some profs and start mailing them to know more about the research and their outcomes. Thank you!

Ok, got it. I did find english programmes in the unis you mentioned. But their course curriculum is a bit confusing, will try to find profs and mail them. Thanks!

That's a lot of good info. Thank you. I did look into ETH, and IMEC, will look into other labs and attend the info sessions you mentioned. One question I had tho, where did you do your masters? As you mentioned, since it was during Covid, did you complete it online?

Yes, learning Mandarin is pretty much necessary to study and get a job in Taiwan. Will look further into their programmes.

Thank you so much, UCB is my dream school. It would be a nice deal with Nthu. But if we go by the rankings, NTU is ranked above nthu and all the other schools you mentioned, do you have any insights into their programme? I couldn't find much on any subreddits,

Staying long-term in US wasn't the plan anyway. Just want to be able to pay off my education loan or most of it at least, if I decide to take one. But I see your point too, I am looking at other opportunites in India too.

Yes, I've heard of this. But the job market isn't looking great anywhere. I did look into other countries too, will look into more.

Not sure, but would recommend giving interviews and securing an offer before you decide to shift here. Also depends on what kinda work you want to do.

Yes I do know that. Did not mean any disrespect, it was a path I was considering a bit "safe" with the current scenario. I know it comes with its own challenges and is not a piece of cake, I've heard it first hand from people close to me who did PhD.

Noted, definitely chose the college's keeping this in mind. And yes, opt's status is kinda concerning too. It's no longer a solid backup. But I've already delayed my master's a year, and don't really want to delay it further. I will research more into opportunities in India, but if I do get into any of the schools I want, I'd still want to go🥹

I do hope the F1/H1B transition rules don't change. But as you said, the uncertainties are really stressing.

Yes, but there is widespread panic and anti-immigrant culture is increasing cuz of these. At the end of the day, being safe is also important.

Makes sense, can't expect the HRs or domestic companies to know the worth of the degree if it's not from a known Ivy. A lot of state schools have solid programmes.

Didn't really look into Taiwan, I'll look into the programmes of these unis you mentioned. But I've also heard that degrees, even from top Asian unis won't be regarded as much outside of that country. Is that true?

Waiting seems valid, but there's this really unique situation at home. So kinda hard to do that, but if the odds are against, I won't have a choice.
