Is coming to us for masters
in data analyst a good idea?
short answer no it's not a good idea
I’ll tell you why so see there are
different career options so data analyst
is one
data scientist and software engineer is
a different
career track if you're coming here for
data scientist or software engineering
career it is a good idea to come to US
and I made a separate video on that so
For which I am gonna post a link in the
video description below
but if you are trying to pursue your
study in data analysis you know trying
to become data analyst
after doing masters the major issue
you will have in US especially
will be that you will have a hard time
finding a job or an employer
who will be willing to file your H1B. H1B
is
a work visa that you need in order to
work in this country
and I know some folks very talented
people whom I know personally they are
excellent like so smart they came here
they did their study now they are having
hard time finding a company who can file
their H1B
you get three-year opt which is still an
option but then during this three-year
opt you need to find a job right you
need to have a job
if you don't have job after masters you
have to go back to your country
if you have a job yes you can work here
three years
on opt you can cover all your tuition
fees for your masters
you can even save a little more money so
in that case yeah
you might get lucky but
many companies have this policy that
they don't want to file H1B for certain
profiles now data analyst profile is
such that
it see in the end it's all economic
supply and demand
there is enough supply of data analysts
in US
so why would they.. you know they're like
american citizens
green card holders why would they go
into a hassle of filing an H1B
because they have to respond to
government that they are not
finding a good talented employee
locally hence they're filing H1B
they would not go through that trouble
so they make it an
HR policy that for data analyst profile
we are not doing any H1B so
the short answer is if you are coming
thinking of coming to us to become data
analyst
masters and work here on H1B
not a good idea now you might get lucky
I'm not saying see
you might get lucky maybe one person
case people even get H1B
fine but you have to be ready
to take that much risk so evaluate
the
options in your home country there are
enough jobs and
so many career options so many
entrepreneurship or freelancing even
options that you have
many times people let's say you're
living in india or some Asian country
you might be frustrated or there is
traffic
there are no jobs the country sucks but
you need to think differently
there are opportunities like if you talk
about india there are a lot of
opportunities
you need to pursue your opportunities
people say I'm not getting an
interview call I'm not getting a job
well have patience
you have to do something out of the box
you have to
do networking you have to do freelancing
open source contribution
like networking through LinkedIn or even
writing
article in medium or some other
blogs you have to do all of those things
getting the first breakthrough takes
time but after that
you can really fly
high and you can uh achieve a lot of
Goals. There are many people who
end up earning a lot of money. I mean the
kind of money that you would not have
been expected you know
has a data analyst in India
you can also have an option of becoming
a data scientist after you become data
analyst
you learn the machine learning
predictive modeling skills, statistics
math
you become data scientists as well and
if you become data scientists like see
big product based companies like Amazon
L5 data scientists make like 80 lakh
rupees a year
L7 data analyst they make like more than
one crore I'm not lying
this is true they make so much money now
product based companies I know
how to get in but I'm just telling you
the upper potential you know the sky is
the limit
so think about your options
properly. The other option you have
in terms of countries is Germany for
Germany there is a nice youtube channel
called Bharat
in Germany I'm gonna post a link in the
video description below watch that
because the study in Germany is free and
you can build a good career I
interviewed one person Vijay
he's in Germany he's a data scientist I
think but yeah as a data analyst also
you can make a good career in European
countries like Germany, UK
you also have an option of going to
Australia or New Zealand, Canada I don't
know much about
career opportunities in those countries
and the situation of studies
so you have to do Google and Internet
search
to find out the option but I hope
you find this advice helpful as far as
US is concerned
