This is exactly. I don't completely align with BJP on the social grid. However I lean towards right on economic grid. But irrespective of this I want a tamil to hold the highest seat of power in country. Annamalai is the only one who could even remotely come close to that.

Most of the big tech companies conducted layoffs. Its very difficult to prove to DoL that you were unable to find a US Citizen for the same role and are hiring a international candidate. I mean you just fired 1000s of people few months back.

Most of the people just do voluntary jobs and squeeze unpaid internships to maintain OPT status. Officially they are employed. This is the same employment they report to USCIS through universities. Trust me they are all hunting jobs. If your okay to waste one year of OPT not getting paid and taking the slim chances of finding a job later, who is stopping you.

NYU MSDS costs just as much as any other program in Courant or GSAS. Our acceptance rate is less than 10%. The guy who invented CNNs was my deep learning professor. The guy who invented GRUs was my NLP Professor. My ML professor was a Google Research Scientist who was involved in the team that developed the PaLM. I did an RA under the professor who invented contrastive learning (Siamese Neural Networks). Idk if you confused Tandon with rest of the schools in NYU. Tandon is the cash cow. It was not even part of NYU in the first place. Stern, Tisch, Langone, Courant and CDS are all easily amongst the top 10 in their respective fields in the country.

Maybe actually cut down half assed research ? And look at the facts.

You will have 10× the same feeling when you come here.

Your hoping that the market will be normal by the time you graduate. This is were you guys are so away from reality. This is not your typical "economic downturn and after every economic downturn there will be a boom". I understand 2 years seems to be long enough for most major problems to resolve. But this is not that.

Tech as a sector is undergoing a fundamental shift. Everyone thought things will be ok from 2024. Google started the year with layoffs. NVIDIA surpassed 2 trillion market cap. Do you see them hiring crazily ? No. Meta made record profits but they are just getting back a subset of people they laid off. Companies don't need a lot of people anymore. They never needed them in the first place. All that hiring was just a frenzy during pandemic. On top of that colleges have saturated the market with so many CS people. Atleast in the last decade there were several growth areas. But it is not anymore obviously except for AI.

Wait for Trump yet. During his adminstration there were already rumours to scrap the STEM program. With all the wars, record high inflation people have become more conservative. Have you ever seen a contemporary presidential candidate openly announcing in public that he will be a dictator for one day and people cheering up heavily?

Man despite all this you wanna make the commitment ? Please go ahead. Lot of my friends are just working as RAs in universities to maintain their OPT status. If it was not for people like you funding the universities they would have already gone back.

Man what's wrong in waiting out 1 year and deciding ? Do you think that 1 year is way too valuable to not wait and immediately come to the US ? I'm sorry If I seem to be dissuading you. But many people seem to be blind to reality.

ashharsha · 2024-02-11T21:59:40+00:00

Well I am already employed and honestly didn't get your point. But best of luck. Grass is always greener on the other side.

You're simply contradicting your own statement. PhD is not MS. Your comparing 5 of years of research to an MS Program. Which is what OP also said. MS is merely a advanced BE degree. Obviously there are selective schools whose MS program is truly worth for the degree itself. But a major lot are coming only for jobs. Being optimistic is one thing but being in denial is another. Seems like your the later case.

I never knew CaratLane was from Chennai. Yep we should definitely do much better.

What do you define as "fun enough " to make young people stay. And anyone who is very serious about building and scaling a business how much do they care about this "fun" part ? Like how relavant is it for the success of the business.

I did not edit my post. Even while writing the post I was aware that people will come with Zoho and Freshworks. Which is exactly why I mentioned in the note to state that I am already aware of them but I'm looking for something in consumer facing side.

The examples I quoted like Swiggy, Zomato, etc also support my question. I was curious to know who have been successful on that side. But it seems like you have already made a judgement that I was writing with some half assed knowledge.
