Getting a job in the US.

<p>I heard from a CC user that getting a job in US for an international student is very hard due to migration issues and what not. If I get into a US university next year, no way in hell will I want to come back to India. So, can anyone tell me if it's true that getting a job in the US is quite hard and if it so then what are the ways to end up with a job in the US?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!!</p>

<p>There really is no way to answer a question that vague, sadly. More information, please ~</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Getting a job in US requires an H1 B Visa which in turn is sponsored by Companies. </p></li>
<li><p>Then there is a cap on that number which is about 65k right now.</p></li>
<li><p>Additional 20k for STEM majors only.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So in order to get a visa first you need to get a job offer from a company that historically has a record of sponsoring H1 B visas. Second, you manage to be part of that 65k statistics, which like the college admissions, is again a lottery. So in both cases you do your best and then hope for the best.</p>

<p>In my opinion you should keep your options open. If you get a job+visa, well and good. If you need to come back, you are armed with a great degree so there will no dearth of great offers at home.</p>

<p>its a pretty simple process actually…
you get a letter from the company, give it to your university and they take care of the rest…
takes roughly a week or 2</p>
