Also visas ain't that much of an issue apparently, there's a visa that gives u 3 years to find work, in that time u can apply for US residency, if u have work in 3 years, u can stay an extra 3 years.

Got the info from this website, scroll down to the 'Can I get to silicon valley?' Part. Its called the H1-B visa.


I'm not seeing a link, and that's definitely not how the H1-B works - I had one. See here for the correct information.

Wikipedia notes that the visa allows for skilled workers with at least a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent, in some cases including experience) in the field to enter the US for up to three years to work for a specific employer (although employees may switch employers), which must sponsor the application.

You MUST have a job, and that employer MUST sponsor the H1-B application. If at any point during your stay in the US, you lose your job, you have to leave the country. In practice, there is a short period when you could get another job.

That doesn't matter. You can earn a lot and still be humble about it.

Lol I am being humble about it.

By the same age you would be earning more than me (probably) due to the length of a medical degree. So it's not really a lot.

do you mean average starting salary of the jobs I can apply to and get with my degree or just the average starting salary people have achieved (doing all sorts of things professional or not) after finishing my degree?
