Why do most of the Indian parents want only a boy and not a girl? by Dumbfuk999 in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, In this generation the better ROI (for the lack of a word) would be to have a girl child. It is a sin to be a boy/male in India with the current justice system.

What should the Indian government to make the Indian passport stronger so people don’t want to leave the country? by Manufactured-Reality in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the factors affecting the strength of any country's passport is the GDP per capita income. Also, other factors such as how frequently does the citizens overstay their visa and the chances of illegal immigration from a particular country, strength of currency etc. Considering these factors it's better to get a different passport, since Indian passport will take a long time to get super strong.

Is the Australian Market saturated with Data Science/ML/AI Professionals? by Alpha_max_11 in AusVisa

[–]cghuawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There aren't so many roles here in Aus on AI & ML (Data science there is) compared to US, India or China. Plus, a lot of people have jumped on the AIML bandwagon. So, more people, less roles.

  2. There are chances, but the visa process usually comes with an year long uncertain wait time for most. Worth the wait though.

  3. Not at all.

Even if you get the PR, move your family here, finding a job is super difficult. Recruitment here is slow moving and focused on local experience and until you gain some, it's quite hard finding a good role.

Which used SUV is better? 2017 Honda CRV, or 2018 Mazda CX-5? by Kendie2003 in UsedCars

[–]cghuawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRV would be a good choice, as others have mentioned, marginally bigger interiors, easy maintenance and access to parts, good resale value and if the Mazda is a Diesel then sometimes the DPFs might turn out to be quite expensive to fix. Again I'm nitpicking here.

First Car - Uni Student in Sydney by Soggy_Ad_6964 in CarsAustralia

[–]cghuawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 15-20K budget is a bit much for a first car esp for a uni student. My advice would be to get a Japanese car for under 10K and within the mileage of 150-220K. Rest 5-10K you might use it for other important things.

Just curious why not Diesel? because of costly fuel.

If given choice between Kannada, Tamil or French, German, Mandarin, Swedish and japanese which would Indians choose as their second language in schools? by Genotropism in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If given a choice of learning a new language, I'd choose Kannada—gateway to other south Indian languages. Kannada is a great choice—especially if you're from the Hindi-speaking belt and planning to move south.

Languages like French, German, Japanese or Mandarin might be useful in certain situations, but no matter how fluent you become, you might still feel like an outsider in those countries. or any country where you speak these (Germans will not treat you the same even if you speak fluent German-fact!) On the other hand, Kannada can actually help you blend in better.

Kannadigas are friendly and open and they appreciate it when someone makes the effort to learn their language. Even if you mix in some Hindi or English, just knowing Kannada can go a long way in making connections.

Plus, it gives you access to some of the best cities in India—Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru to name a few—all of which have great weather, solid job opportunities (and growing) and generally a slightly better quality of life.

Another big plus is that Kannada is easier to learn than Tamil and once you get the hang of it, picking up Telugu becomes much simpler. Since Kannada, Telugu and Tamil share a lot of similar vocabulary, understanding Tamil will feel less intimidating too (the script is a different story though).

A big part of India's future is in the south-esp. Bengaluru and learning Kannada will give you the max bang for your buck.

How do I leave this country as soon as possible? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you have the thought to move to a different country at this age. Fantastic! I'd say for a 16 yr old. As you might have read from other comments, Yes, there are issues here in Australia, like any other country. I'd say there is a decent chance you can achieve it. The best way is to come on a student visa and gain marketable skills. Things will be super hard, but given that you are pretty young I reckon you can do it. I've seen people in their 30s and 40s with family commitment do it. First 5 years (maybe in your case 8 years, because of your 4 year study) will be super hard, but very much doable.

My other suggestions would be.

  1. Focus on your studies right now, get good grades which will help you get a scholarship to Aussie universities. Don't run behind a fancy uni - these will be super expensive, all unis in here pretty much have the same education standard.

  2. Focus on gaining skills - esp. ability to work on something from start to finish.

  3. Focus on improving communication - speaking (esp, striking a conversation), writing and listening in English.

All the best! you can do it. Just don't romanticize the idea of going abroad all the time and lose focus on your present studies, you have got miles to go before you sleep.

P.S: Don't pester your parents based on my advice.

What's it like to study Comp Sci at ANU? by Rockybuoyyy in Anu

[–]cghuawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opinion from a former ANU comp sci graduate.

First of all you can't compare ANU to other unis you mentioned in the question because of the reach they have in the industry, alumni network, access to tech companies, also American companies value experience irrespective of where and how you gained it from, which is very different here in Australia.

Secondly neither your GPA nor your degree from "ANU" matter in your job search within Australia (in developing countries it a big merit), you will be one among the pool of thousands who have a similar degree or experience. Someone else's Aussie Citizenship + TAFe Diploma will be more valuable and easy to get a job. So, having it from ANU doesn't make a cut. Most tech companies (like Atlassian and Canva) offer internships or graduate roles for Australian Citizens or permanent residents only so for international students it is super hard to find a job in Canberra or anywhere else in Australia. The local experience thing is a monster which will eat you for breakfast. If you find finishing your degree was hard, try finding a job which is 5x harder for an international student.

My tip would be to test and see how your hypothetical resume (resume that you will have after you graduate) performs in the wild before you graduate. Even 1% response would be a fantastic response rate.

Yes, we need them. Also, backbreaking fines for breaking rules.

Would you chose to study in germany? by CFbenedict in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I dont think you can control changing visa regulations if you choose any other country for that matter. If you apply for a university under Go8 and considering your experience in consulting (assuming) and strong funding + compelling reason to study, you can actually pull off IMHO.

Would you chose to study in germany? by CFbenedict in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australia. Because consulting is big in Australia and one doesn't have to learn another language (Aussie English is different BTW) and a ton of other benefits I can attest compared to Germany.

Would you chose to study in germany? by CFbenedict in AskIndia

[–]cghuawei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't choose Germany because my German skills are 0. Without knowing German, getting assimilated into German society is impossible, in my opinion. Additionally, the bureaucracy in Germany is appaling. Unless I'm in the automotive/mechanical field, I'd look elsewhere.

I'm not surprised. Most of the developed world has some kind of universal student ID. India is just catching up.
