Hot take from a child of immigrants: If an international student in the US is constantly translating English writing into their native language, like class readings or job descriptions, then why are they applying to skilled US jobs? I see some classmates immediately hit Google Translate without even trying to decipher them themsleves.

I know another language, but because my level isn't at *true* professional fluency, I know better than to apply to jobs in those countries.

If they're working in true STEM fields that are mostly technical, I understand. But for business roles or anything that heavily relies on our language ability? Come on.

Some employers will look past language proficiency if the value the candidate brings is high. Or if they can pay the candidate peanuts

Maybe it’s for these companies to decide whether they want to employ people like this or not?

They have to interview and whatever limitations they have with English language will manifest.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?
