Why do so many people need sponsorship? Most people I speak to in tech (data) require some sort of sponsorship. Just curious why this is.

Is this a serious question? 🤔
Or are you just waiting for wild answers to pour in?

There is a lack of diversity in tech. As mentioned above, other countries place a huge focus on computer science and engineering degrees, the US, does not. There is lots of work to be done in the U.S.

Thank you!

Americans don't get the required advanced degrees / education needed at the volume which the market requires these types of individuals.

I blame poor math education and stripping edutainment from STEM field instruction.

The odd part is that some STEM degrees allow you to work with a Bachelor’s, but pay poorly.

I work for a staffing agency, and most engineering industry tech people are Asians(non US citizens) so that’s why.

B/c they aren’t US Citizens. Like TAM said above about Americans.

You mean America's best minds don't come from here???? What?! #shook

Is there an online marketplace for SquareSpace portfolio templates, i.e., a place where you can buy a template, download it, then build it yourself? Alternatively, is there a place where I can hire someone to recommend a SquareSpace template, gussy up said template with type and/or color tweaks to make it less template-y (no functionality changes needed), and then design a simple logo? Looked at Squarespace Experts but seems a bit intense for what I need. Google isn't giving me much.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
