A LinkedIn post by a career coach pointed out that going to the US will not solve all problems; there are some people who are in a better situation in India and they must understand that instead of taking an impulsive, mid-career decision to go to the US. Anushk Sharma, Head of Growth, Open Venture, said a friend recently asked him if he should do an MS in the US. His answer was 'No' because the friend was earning Rs 18 lakh in Bangalore. US is not bad, Sharma said adding that his advice to his friend was not because of the present situation in the US but because the friend was already "winning a game most international students are still trying to enter".
Sharma said people should not come to the US for the wrong reasons, as it could wreck their career. In his post, he highlighted three types of people who should not come to the US and if they are planning to, then they should reconsider.
