@NicoletteGlazer any thoughts on employment-based i140 and i485 approvals? Specifically for high skilled immigration categories like eb-1 and eb-2?

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

All grad students and post-docs should read this! So well written.

👵 I went on the academic job market for 5 years.

📑 18 pubs
📝 256 applications
💬 19 interviews
🗣️ 10 job talks
🫱 6 offers (1 faculty, 5 postdoc)

😈 Here's a candid look at the job market hellscape:🧵

@piggy21350280 @robhennefer @RosserJobs An employer has no business trying to gauge a potential employee's personal financial situation, period. This is a business deal. Purchasing services in exchange for salary and benefits. No way does this provide any evidence of money management. It is an assumption.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@piggy21350280 @robhennefer @RosserJobs That shouldn't matter to the employer. They are not hiring for the employee's personal financial info. The only criteria is having the skills to do the job, and being a team player, nothing else matters. If a hiring manager is looking at other criteria, then just avoid.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@robhennefer @RosserJobs Exactly! If a hiring manager is judging someone's decision making and farsightedness based on how much their counter offer is, then the hiring manager needs to learn how to interview/evaluate candidates. Better to avoid such managers.

@sunp1965 Can you share the link for the data? I would like to see the numbers for now.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@TheH1BGuy Your prediction about the India EB1 dates was vastly incorrect though!

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@SinaYanka This comment is illogical. Stop with the whataboutery, and think before you type.

@deedydas @aaditkamat The definition of merit is not brilliance or smartness, it would entail the whole profile including evidence of subject matter expertise (part of privilege of getting college education), participation in related extra curricular activities (also part of privilege).

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@NeuroEllen @jdpereira Were the blogs publicly available or only available to the lab members? If public, this would count as a public disclosure and affect patent eligibility.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Y'all have time to make friends?😆😆

Just joking! #phdlife

Conference governing bodies should take a stance that they will only host conferences in countries where the visa situation for ALL foreign attendees would be dealt with on time. Scientific researchers are literally the best and brightest, and yet no respite for them.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@FromPhDtoLife For me it was about how is all of these research work going to reach people, and not just be a publication.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@sunp1965 I agree, there should be separate allocations for each sub category of EB1A, EB1B, and EB1C.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@FromPhDtoLife In my view so far, someone who has not gone through the rigors of a PhD does not appreciate the skills that a PhD brings in. Work experience is valued way more than a PhD even though a PhD entails project management at some of the very high levels. People just do not see it.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@sunp1965 Thank you, this is very helpful.

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@sunp1965 source for this data? Also what are the corresponding numbers for eb1b?

[Mech Engg Research @MechResearch]

@sriramk If you are talking from a policy perspective in regard to US Congress, then there aren't many that are working on this. Currently, EB-1 for Indians is also under a backlog of at least 5-6 years, which is slated to increase if things persist.

@anujchristian @Sarah238213 This is a troll account, not worth your energy. Just block.
