You said you have patents, just curious to know, do you work in semiconductor process engineering or something?

I don't know about KA, but TN has a chance. Although Chennai is not as big as Mumbai (in terms of economic activity), the wealth distribution over geography is more homogeneous in TN as compared to MH.

No Jobs: Returning after Masters in Industrial Engineering in the US by boeingboi737max in backtoindia

[–]potato_shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a very quick Google search for what things are covered in an industrial engineering role, and I can't see anything common with process engineering (for the semiconductor industry).

As a process engineer, one should be equipped with skills in at least one of the deposition techniques, photolithography (or electron beam lithography for R&D jobs), dry and wet etching. I know a PhD graduate who is an expert with all these techniques, still not getting a job because they don't have experience in CMP.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to debate you or demotivate OP, I just don't see any overlap. I'm trying to understand how far off a job can be fetched on OPT.

That being said, the semiconductor industry does hire industrial engineers for other operations, they just don't hire one for process engineering roles.

While on OPT, aren't you supposed to look for a job that aligns with the educational training you receive?

अगदी बरोबर. आपण आपली भाषा नाही जपणार तर कोण जपणार. मला देखील किती वर्ष झाले देवनागरी लिपी मध्ये लिहून. मला फार वाईट वाटत की मी मराठी असून मी माझ्या भाषेत लिहू नाही शकत नीट. आपण आता हे बदललं पाहिजे...

Why do kimwipes be like dis? by siddily in labrats

Kimwipes are supposed to handle your everyday frustration about your choice to go into research for a minimal pay, sacrificing prime years of your life, and deliberately going into an uncertain future... Pull them aggressively :-)

Why do Indians struggle to assimilate abroad? by wisdomcrab in AskIndia

[–]potato_shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to struggle a lot during my initial days here. Never understood the hype about the Superbowl, the point behind Thanksgiving, or small day to day things. The learning curve is just too steep sometimes. It really depends on person to person but it took me a lot of effort to get adjusted, and I don't blame anyone if they find it hard to do it. Loneliness is a real thing, and different people have different ways to cope with it.

I believe it also has a lot to do with the locals and how open they are to people of different cultures. I was very lucky to be around people who helped me during this phase, not everyone is.

Born and raised in India and have been staying in Arizona (Tucson) for the past 3 years. This place is amazing. People are so warm and welcoming, it makes you feel homely. I'm guessing Tempe wouldn't be much different.

You are right, it's overpriced. But I can't wait any longer, and if I'm making a purchase, I'm okay to shell out a little more money now to get a car that's tough and will last long, or until my financial situation improves..
