For immigration I don’t think any significant changes are coming unless Vivek wins.
Even if he wins, H1B will get better only as Vivek has plans to change H1B from lottery to points based system.

AI isn't gonna take your job if you're really good

I'm not saying coding will be dead but a single person would be able to do what 3-5 engineers can do collectively, in the next 5 years.
Engineering team size will reduce for sure.
Zerodha makes 2000 crores with a engineering team of only 30. Their coin webapp was built by a single guy.

Don’t wait for results for sure. Ye sab time sensitive cheez hai, if you wish to go, go now. Don’t wait for an event to happen because it will not be a clear scenario ever. Hope that helps

As someone who has been part of this sector, I can say 2024 elections will have minimal impact except for the rhetoric. This is exactly what happened the last time around when Donald J. Trump won the presidential elections.

Job outlook is again anyone's guess. You might want to be in a safe spot (school) when the recession hits and graduate at a time we are coming out of one. We have long been overdue for a correction. The question is when, how long, and how deep... if you have answers to these you might as well enjoy your life on the beach.
The best bet is to place a bet on yourself, don't fall for crazy adverts promising the moon, know your downside and then work with conviction on being the best at your craft.

As I mentioned, your guess might be as good as anyone else's. In my view, what we have seen thus far is a correction in the irrational exuberance fuelled by the post pandemic surge in capital flows. While there are already signs of some of the irrationality coming back, by and large things are much more rational. However, we have only gotten back to a more normalised pre-pandemic scenario. There might be a correction that might be needed for the excesses of the last decade. It might be a time correction if not price correction.
Economists have successfully predicted nine of the last five recessions. Which is why, I said, best to invest in yourself, be aware of the external environment but not be unduly bothered by the same

as long you have the secure the money for the fees and are confident that you will be able to land a job to pay off the loan... you should go

No.
