I immigrated to the US a long time back. The reality was up until late 1990s it was always difficult to find jobs after MS in the US in any field. Even getting admissions to MS was not easy and neither was getting F1 visa with a MS admission letter. Generally we had to be from one the top colleges in India to get admissions for MS and get a student visa. Most of us went through a grind for years to get jobs, h1 and GCs and many went back or did phds and became professors. Only after late 1990s, flood gates opened for college admissions, h1 etc and with plenty of abuses across the board. If anything things are going back to the way they were in 70s, 80s and 90s. For my generations, there were very few opportunities in India. Things are different in India now, although salaries may lag. I personally would love to see the Indian community grow in the US but reality of public sentiment is different. Maybe it is time to stay and build India unless you really want knowledge and study at top tier colleges.

I’m Omkar Deshpande. I am appling for my bachelor’s in physics in the U.S.
So I’ll get an F-1 visa then OPT with extension (since my course comes under STEM). But, is it hard for me to get an H-1B visa after this?

I have done masters in biotechnology(2006) from India and have five years of research experience in neuroscience from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER). After that I have worked as a data analyst in local company (5 years). Now, I want to pursue MS in bioinformatics from US university. I am going to spend all my savings to do the same. Please let me know, what are my job prospects in USA during Trump era. Is it advisable to go for MS degree now in this uncertain time? Is it difficult to get job in USA after doing MS? I am betting on big pharmaceutical companies for sponsoring visa based on vast experience and knowledge.
I am very confused because it is a huge investment for a middle class family.
