It depends on the tier of H1B hiring. I think you study/studied at an INI so your peer group has more in common with Sarah and Sarita instead of Sam, Sandeep, Karl, or Kamal.

In a lot of cases, Sandeep used to be Kamal, and these are the Desis on H1Bs or L1s who are getting laid off or forced to consider moving back to India, the UK, the EU, Australia, etc.

Tracks, I guess. MSDS@UCSD, MSA@GT, MSCS@CMU all got jobs at meta, IBM, amazon. First two in the bay, third one as well I think. MSCS@NCSU got an internship at amazon but did not get full time yet. MSCS@NEU also did not get anything yet. CS@Columbia did not get anything, but EE@Columbia (semicon stuff) got one in bell labs NJ.

Although naturalization is pretty difficult, I guess it's still a good deal to return at 30 with 4cr starting wealth.

Yep. That's what Chinese nationals in the US began doing in the early 2010s when China was developmentally similar to India today - the cost/reward ratio diminished due to the GC backlog.
