My tier 2 US tech Bay Area office is 80% immigrants from one country on visa (H1-B or OPT). They never say no, and they are willing to work any hours and take meetings at any time. 90% of management up to CTO is from the same country. This is for tech, its a little less lopsided in non-tech divisions. Most of them used this pipeline (I've checked LinkedIn): 2 years of non-spectacular experience in home country, cheap US master, possibly internship in US company with same ethnic makeup, then OPT, then shoot for the H1-B in company with manager from same country.
American grads now compete with ethnic hiring, foreign work morals, and possibly billions of people with not-so-impressive experience, which I assume is why we see the crowding out of locals. Add to that some groups generally having less scruples about cheating and lying in the application process, as well as being trained in school for passing tests rather than performance, and you get what we see now.
Right. I've seen the same thing in Seattle Wworking places with large numbers of H1-Bs. By and large, the H1-B employees are so desperate to keep their jobs and see so little hope of advancement not extra rewards that they'll work as slow as possible while preserving their careers.
Around the kinds of people who politically put job security above excellent client results, you really do need to work harder to get less done.
It was a good experience. You'd learn more in 4 years at a brick and mortar since you spend more time and homework there. Great option if you already know much of the material though, but i think they only admit US and Canadian people.
I liked that it was async but still proctored exams, and they provided great access to teachers and so on.
That's that idea out the window then! They should open up to international students, I reckon they'd clean up, the only real competitor in the UK would be the Open University and WGU has significant cost and time savings over it.
ADD here, and therefore (I believe easily irritable by sounds). For me, sudden and infrequent sounds are worse for stress than "noise". I'm wuite OK with city noise but hate door slammers and bowling ball droppers.
