Yes although I don't live there anymore

its harder to find job in U.S nowadays coz the economy is down...also employers are reluctant to sponsor H1B...

one alternative is work for Chinese companies...they are more willing to sponsor H1B...but they will make you work like DOG...70hrs a week...60hrs/wk....

Added on April 4, 2008, 9:05 amMy Ph.D professor told me if you want to confirm getting H1B...you will have to be a Ph.D professor....working for the university...the university will sponsor your H1...but that's if your researchthesis is credible for the university to sponsor your H1...

Ph.D's get the priority for H1B because they are an asset to the country...

so if you really want H1 in U.S...take Ph.D

i didnt pay a single cent all done online...

huh? what do u mean? ... u stay in mexico but work in the states?

ermm.. actually indian companies are the one that sponsor a lot... but usually they take in indians... Ph.D. in the states is super competitive... not as easy as other places... each uni needs special accessment from the state to offer phds... unlike here

i know of a full prof. from jian tong uni. from china that works as a chef in a chinese restaurant

I stay in Malaysia and my work is in the US. The beauty of offshoring and the internet.

haih.. nvm..

why no1 is staying n working in the states now LYN all locals?...

Haha, I just came back from the US 2 days ago, does that count?

What are you trying to do? Maybe Facebook might be a better place to look for people? I see quite a lot of Malaysian expats on Facebook.

ermm... 2days? no ler.. dont count...

i am trying to pull our resources together just like other threads... so when we need info or help we can contact each other ^^
facebook? a lot of ppl put it for fun... neway...

what about canada?

well i hope to join the list one day. long time more yet though.

btw, for those who did their OPT but did not stay on, was it possible or difficult to obtain jobs in say, Canada or Australia? Engineers especially...

canada is very easy to apply.. but hard to find.. they are a relaxed lot

fasterler.. come and join me..

canada is easy... but their jobs are not so attractive

aus is hard to apply working visa but jobs are easy if you fall within those that they need... esp engineers eg mining

CAN SOME1 JOIN THE LIST BESIDES ME!!!

i wanted to go work there but cannot find sponsor

if u can get a job offer i can sponsor ur visa

Stop calling her BRO, she's a female.

u sure? hehhee... i will rmb that... thanks 4 d offer

I'm in tennessee, working as a cad engineer in analog VLSI lab and taking phd... actually US is loosing its relative attractive compensation as compare to asia.. asia is slowly picking up now interm of engineering compensation... i used to work as design engineer in malaysia b4 and compare to staff engineer and above level between US and asia... where asia is nearly half of the pay of US equivalent engineer. But to sharpen the technical competency, i still think US is a good place so far as more technical opportunity then.
