A founder warns parents about the declining job market for international students in the US, Canada, and UK.
A Gurgaon-based entrepreneur has warned about the dearth of job opportunities in the United States, Canada and UK for international students. Rajesh Sawhney’s warning comes amid a crackdown on immigration in these countries that has made it more difficult for international students to stay back after completing their education.
A founder’s warning
Sawhney, Founder and CEO of GSF Accelerator, is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School (Advanced Management Program) and has a fellowship from the London School of Economics. Despite having studied in the US and UK himself, he feels the honeymoon period for international students is over.
In a post shared on the social media platform X, he advised parents to think twice before spending crores on sending their children abroad.
“There are no jobs in USA, Canada and UK for International students,” wrote Sawhney. “Honeymoon is over, parents should think twice before spending crores on the expensive education.”
A hack that no longer works
The Gurgaon-based entrepreneur said that earlier, IIT graduates could go to the United States for a master’s degree and secure an entry-level tech job. This is no longer the case.
