International Applicant Strategy — Premium Session

A 60-minute premium session for applicants based outside India.

If you're applying from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, or anywhere in the Americas — your path to US grad school or FAANG looks different from the Indian applicant playbook. Visa rules differ. Funding sources differ. The narratives that work for admissions differ.

I went through this myself as an international applicant to UC Irvine, then through US OPT, H-1B, and the FAANG hiring funnel as a non-US citizen. I now work at Google as an AI Consultant.

What we'll cover (you pick the focus):

• MS Abroad strategy: Country choice (US vs. Canada vs. UK), school targeting, application timeline
• Application materials: SOP / personal statement framing for non-US-resident applicants
• Visa pathway: F-1 → OPT → H-1B realities, or alternatives
• FAANG hiring as a non-citizen: What roles sponsor, what doesn't, how to position
• Negotiation: Offer comparison, relocation, sponsorship leverage
• Cost of living + ROI: Real numbers, not consultancy estimates

What you'll send 24 hours before:

• Your current country and citizenship
• Resume / LinkedIn
• Specific goal: admission / job / both
• 2–3 specific questions you most want answered
