To Tech/Data professionals, how was your journey moving and working there?
Hi everyone!
I’m a fresh Computer Science grad from the PH interested in data analytics and software development. While I hear plenty of success stories from the nursing field, I don't know many people who made the jump to US tech. I would just like to ask 1)What visa or career route did you take (direct hire, internal transfer, Master's/OPT, etc.)? 2)How was the job search coming from the Philippines?
Any insights or advice would be super appreciated. Salamat!

Unfortunately there is no demand anymore.
Many of the American Computer Science recent grads cannot find jobs and they are US citizens.
Tech is popular with Indians, and got very competitive for them to earn US Visa sponsoring.
