I get the impression that international students understand that they need to compete when they need to in the recruiting part of their lives, but they'll separate how they behave in that world from their personal lives. If they're rude and talk too much during recruiting events, maybe they just don't understand U.S. professional norms. Some of my international peers who were frankly terrible to be around in circles of death ended up being the most sincere, open people outside of that. IME my international peers were the most giving in terms of recruiting help, and they'd always invite me to things and want to chat with me.
In contrast, U.S./CAN students will start viewing you as threats in both their recruiting and personal lives. As soon as recruiting began, they started being more closed off around me and didn't really want to talk to me or include me. And this continued even after recruiting ended.
Interesting, why do you think that happened? I am international students and always have thought that domestic students always see us as a a threat during recruiting, like we were just rats trying to steal their job spots (from accidentally hearing their conversation in my school)
I've wondered the same. I definitely do think that a good number of domestic students feel this way (and I'm sorry :(), but what surprised me is that domestic students seem to extend that animosity to other domestic students as well. They let their sense of competition impact their friendships, and it's probably a reflection of how US white collar professional services workplaces tend to be more passive aggressive.
I wonder if international students are more used to competition in their home countries, so they've learned how to separate when they need to compete and when they don't need to. I've generally found international students to be more giving as well.
Your observation about the contrast between international and domestic/Canadian students during the recruiting process is fascinating and can likely be traced back to cultural values around competition and collectivism.
I find that many international students, particularly those from African and some Asian communities, come from collectivist cultures where competition is often less personalized. These cultures value maintaining relationships and communal harmony, even when individuals are vying for the same goals. This background encourages them to keep friendships genuine and supportive outside of the direct competitive environment.
And this tracks with what you’re saying.
For international students, the core competition is often not with their domestic peers but with the recruiters and the systemic challenges of securing employment (like visa sponsorship, etc.)
