Makes me remember a joke:

 😄 Seems like the case with Indians worldwide.

She's of Indian/telugu origin, mentality is completely American. Stop sucking...she's not going to miraculously introduce a bill to take or approve green cards for people from Andhra or Telangana...her parents went there to escape this shithole. The last thing Indians who are abroad want are more Indians who are abroad.

Trump Picks JD Vance as VP Candidate, Highlighting His Silicon Valley Ties

Journalist

- Silicon Valley, once a liberal stronghold, sees a growing number of tech investors supporting Trump for the 2024 election.
- Prominent figures like Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and Keith Rabois have publicly endorsed Trump, citing dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's policies.
- The shift is driven by both ideological and commercial reasons, including opposition to Biden's tax plans and regulatory measures.
- Despite this trend, the majority of Big Tech leaders and donations still favor the Democratic Party.
- The support for Trump reflects broader national political divides and a strategic bet on his potential victory.

Breaking: Joe Biden drops out of election race

- Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate, aiming to attract working-class voters in swing states for a Democratic win in November.
- Walz, chosen over other contenders like Senator Mark Kelly and Governor Josh Shapiro, will join Harris at a campaign rally in Philadelphia before touring key battleground states.
- The decision follows President Joe Biden's exit from the race, positioning Harris as the Democratic nominee with Walz expected to appeal to moderate and rural voters.
- Walz, a former high school teacher and National Guard member, has gained national attention for his critiques of Trump's VP nominee JD Vance, especially on social media.
- Harris's campaign has gained momentum since Biden stepped aside, narrowing the polling gap with Trump and increasing fundraising efforts ahead of the Democratic National Convention.

No one hates Indians as much as other Indians

I have listened to his interviews. This is propoganda headline. fake news. He does not want to end H1B rather he is proposing a merit based entry system, at a strech it can be called a reformed H1B. He is infact very pro legal immigration and the merit based system will ultimately help Indians who have a lot of merit but are stuck with stupid lottery systems.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 

1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!]
2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India
3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture

But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap)

She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

What to do if your parents refused to fund your education(MS/MBA) abroad?

Two options -  
  
 1. As I read, she will making 14L, save aggressively and self fund herself to MS. Places like UoCincinati or Texas univs aren’t that costly. She might able to score a diversity scholarship/waiver as well. 
  
 2. Start looking for Germany based unis. They have minimal uni fee, she just need to maintain the living expenses.  
  
 My 2 cents - Working for 2-3 years before MS will bring more clarity and increase the RoI of investments.
