Conceded that low GRE scores don't matter a lot, BUT you have to understand that people get jobs here not because they went to a XYZ college but because the economy here is stronger and the supply of jobs is relatively more compared to the demand. Compare that to India, where getting an off-campus job is much more difficult than the US. Also, your skill set does not really matter a lot here, if you are well-spoken and presentable. I know a number of people who did not have any hard skills but they got well-paying jobs just because of their networking skills. Having said that, networking isn't the strong suit of every one, and that is perfectly OK. You will find a job here if you keep at it. Please also understand that while getting a job in the US is important, it is also important to imbibe the culture and environment that the US has to offer. I went to USC for my masters, and in the first year I immersed myself in whatever the university had to offer- I went to book festivals, I volunteered at the art initiatives, I went to football games, and did much more, besides of course, looking for internships/jobs. In the process, I met so many cool people who knew so much more than I did, and I am grateful that I am in touch with them even now, long after I graduated. We desis are so focused on getting jobs and visas that we forget that life is much more than the jobs we do and the money we earn. We need to develop our personalities while we are here, and become more presentable, rather than blindly applying to internships and jobs. Money will come eventually if we know what we want.

@@YudiJ Ok, so here it goes: (I will post my scores in different exams at the end, because I believe they matter, even though they should not be the sole differentiator, and rightly so). My experience in India: I did my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Delhi College of Engineering, and I graduated in 2012. My plan was to go for MBA right after my undergrad. I took CAT and scored a good percentile. I got calls from IIM Calcutta and FMS, but couldn't convert both of them. I ended up joining a small supply chain company in Gurgaon, worked there for 3 and a half years as a supply chain analyst and later as a Team Lead-Operations. I got to know a lot about sourcing from China, warehousing and customer service and all the other details which go into making an efficient supply chain. To be honest, I wasn't exactly satisfied with the work that I was doing. The things that provided me some solace back then were books, music and movies. I read whatever I could, listened and watched whatever I could. To move out of the place where I was and to come to the US, I took GRE and TOEFL while I was still working. Then I started applying and got into USC and a few other universities, not to mention I was rejected at a few universities too. In hindsight, I should have worked on my application a little more to get into universities still better than USC, like UCLA and Ross at UMich. But anyway, that doesn't matter now. My experience in the US: My goals were clear when I came to the US: I wanted to work at a supply chain job, and to make meaningful connections, even if they might just be a handful. I worked at both simultaneously. As soon as I landed in the US for my masters in August 2016, I started working toward it. Within supply chain, I was more geared toward Analytics and Consulting roles and eventually ended up getting a Transportation Management Consulting job, which was close to what I wanted on the professional front. I joined USC Visions and Voices-their arts initiative, went to a few other clubs such as Toastmasters and the book club which suited my interests. Through volunteering at Visions and Voices, I attended at so many cool events related to film.music and literature for free. I got to listen to Pulitzer prize winner Viet Nguyen for free! He is still a Professor at USC, I think. I got to meet and say Hi to the entire cast of Transparent at an event. I attended a choreography event and it was sublime-the grace of the dancers, and everything else. Through Toastmasters, I worked on my public speaking, kept improving myself with each speech I delivered. I went to free food events, one which involved some discussions on religion. Religion can make some people skeptical, as it made me. But it hardly mattered to me. I went nevertheless, and met some amazing people there. It was amazing to see that I was welcome there, even though I disagreed with so many of their views. That was a pivotal point in making me realize that we can disagree with each other, and still make progress. I like writing a lot(one of my articles had been published in The Hindu), had my poem scheduled to be published in the university magazine at USC(too bad they ran out of funds). I also worked at a cafe on campus(got loads of free food), and at the university newspaper as a copyeditor. I am not exactly an outgoing person, but I kept pushing myself by reminding myself that people who matter don't mind, and people who mind don't matter. :). Having said that, I was equally cognizant of the importance of getting an internship and a job here in the US, because for us internationals, one of the important methods of staying in the US is inevitably linked to getting a job. I applied to 500+ internships online and got rejects from most of them. And others didn't even care to reply. It was frustrating to say the least. I think this is a phase that most internationals have to go through-applying online and getting rejected repeatedly. I kept attending career fairs, kept meeting recruiters in person, and eventually got an internship at the end of April. When my manager interviewed me, more than about asking me what I knew, she stressed on if I knew what I wanted, and if the work was suited to my interests. I had taken out a student loan from an Indian bank, and I had to start paying that quickly. I finished most of my credits in Fall 2016 and Spring 2017, and was left with 3 courses. I finished 2 of those online in summer along with my internship. While I was doing my internship, I applied to the full-time job I am working at now, and got it. What that meant was I ended my internship on July 31, 2017 in LA(which was a Monday), took the evening flight and I started my full-time job(in San Francisco) on August 1(Tuesday). I have been working here since August 2017, and the experiences have been for the most part, pretty good. I am still on my OPT Visa(Extension). I keep looking forward to bigger and better things, despite the flaws that this place has. I keep reading as much as I can, because besides giving us with more knowledge about things, it makes us more humble by telling us that there is so much that we do not know. It is difficult to get a lot done in a little time, but I did it. And while it isn't something to brag about, I think I came out of it better. And I am still here, figuring things out, fighting my way out of the problems. :) What no one talks about: 1. In career fairs, you see long queues of people standing to get an internship/a job. And you are one of them. Why doesn't anyone talk about how easy it is to feel lost? (Also, please think about those recruiters who have 200-300 students throughout the day walk up to them and tell them about their achievements one after another. In the middle of that, if you can connect with them on a somewhat human level by saying something like, "I cannot even imagine how hectic a day it must be for you.", it makes a mile of a difference. Empathy is the word, folks. I wish all of us had more of it. ) 2. Why does everything we do after a point is contingent on H1B Visa? Agreed, you want to stay in the US, but at what cost? Doing a job at which you can be replaced just like that? We need to have more conversations on things like these. 3. People here don't really care about your job roles or the money you earn. It is almost laughable how we desis are so busy trying to outwitting each other for money, "better" companies and "better" jobs. In the process, we lose humility and forget that the things we have done so far, might have already been done by someone long back. 4. Wherever you are in life, always remember where you came from. Shashi Tharoor made an amazing point in one of his videos, "If you don't know where you are coming from, how will you know where you are headed?". Having said that, it doesn't mean you have to conform to a certain way of life just because you are from a certain country. I attended the concerts of Zakir Hussain in San Francisco and Nick Cave in Los Angeles and saw a lot of Indians in the former, and hardly any in the latter. Why can't our choices be more universal, more eclectic? Why do we have to know just about internships, jobs, technology and nothing else? I am listing my scores and publications below, in case anyone wants to know. Also, you can reach out to me if you need any help. I know how it feels to be given help when you need it the most. :) My Scores/Publications: GRE(July 2015): 329(170 Quant, 159 Verbal, AWA 5/6) TOEFL(August 2015): 108(29R+27L+22S+30W) CAT, November 2011: 99.55 percentile (98.28 in Math+DI, 99.26 in English+LR) www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/my-five-akshat-jha/article5732552.ece All the best guys. Hope you do great things with your lives.

Akshat Kumar Akshat Kumar All I just have to say is that this is the best thing I read today! You might not believe :) but I believe we both share same thinking process and mindset and perspective. The only difference is that I wasn’t around Desi’s at all during my masters and did everything in my own. And that was my main reason to choose Chico because i was told by International Dept director of Chico that you will only have 10-12 students. I made up my mind that this is it! My mindset was pretty clear from day 1 I landed in usa that I am here to explore this new chapter in a new country! I should diversify myself with everything this country has to teach but keeping my roots grounded. I come from 300 sq ft chawl System house in Mumbai. So I have seen things in my childhood which i will talk about some other time. Job search was easy for me because I understood the usa system and culture. I was never stressed about it because I knew things will fall into places! I believed in myself that if nothing works and I have to go back then I know what I will do back in Mumbai and build myself. I had job offer of 100+ k but I did not take it and stuck with my company because I love my coworkers and it’s a family now. 15 Americans (coworkers) of them came to India for my wedding :) imagine spending 5000-8000$ That’s huge for me because they came all the way for 5 days of my wedding. That kind of relationship I build with people. And pretty much entire office came to my home for reception in chico :) Being said all of this - I agree to what you are saying but you learnt by experiencing it and by doing it. So people will learn things when life teaches them. Everything will have their own timeline. The smart ones I believe will listen 👂 to our conversation and will understand. We should meet up someday! Would love to talk in person! Cheers ❤️🙏🏼😇

University rankings is everything in Asia. My grades were absolutely horrible in highschool, thus, my highschool and national exam were absolutely horrid. I basically couldn't go to a university in my country and had to settle in a university overseas that isn't even listed on Times Higher Education or QS World rankings. Since I went to this random university I've been having trouble landing an internship as I couldn't compete against other applicants who attend schools like UPENN or NUS. I would like to take this opportunity to tell other people to not mess around during highschool or else you'll be getting a degree from an unknown university and end up mopping floors for the rest of your life
