In my (3rd world- MENA) country I'm considered a straight A engineering student. I probably (with little or no effort) could lend any internship available on the market. (I have even been proposed positions in local companies even before graduation)
But when I try to land something "international" (Canada and US mostly) my application gets rejected in record time.
Do you think I'm doing something wrong (culturally, formalities.etc..) or these companies simply don't want someone from MENA region ?
fuck off terrorist
>>46794430
Your third world education is inferior to our Canadian education. Also please do NOT come to our country, for fuck sakes, there's enough shitskins here as it is.
post pic of skin
>>46794451
I'm guessing that's the reason
I know that here in Denmark we don't recognize a lot of university degrees from MENA countries
>>46794437
funny thing is I'm not even religious ...
>>46794451
>>46794469
so basically you're confirming ..ok
>>46794502
>>46794451
I go to a private school (not like the shitty public unis) My diploma is recognized in EU, Canada and Australia ...
>3rd world country
>implying 90% of your graduates didn't just fucking buy the diplomas using their parents' corruption money
Literally every single third world student I've seen are stinking rich and stupid as fuck.
>>46794430
As an engineering student in the US, I can confirm that kids from countries like India and Pakistan have a really bad habit of coming up with overly complex designs that are ultimately fucking broken, and explaining things using totally unnecessary technical jargon, for no reason I can think of other than to make themselves sound techy and smart. I have also dealt with a lot of Chinese kids in my classes who are just utter shit at anything other than ripping code off of the internet, and the sort of mindless number crunching math that you could get a computer to do for you.
I really hate to make sweeping generalizations, especially based on race, but your countrymen really aren't doing you any favors anon.
>>46794430
>US
>middle east
well, I can see that being a problem. Wouldnt go so far to call it "racism" all the time, its mostly just being uneducated about the big, big world outside the US.
However, unfortunately you have a quite large group currently, that is doing their best to "educate" the whole world, that muslims in general, and middle easterns/arabs in particular are batshit insane, subhuman savages, so theres that…
But what probably is more important, is the following:
Do you have a visa/work permit?
I am an European, white as white can be, and I can just forget about finding work in the US or Canada, because all jobs are only open for folks that have a work permit (forgot the exact name). And if I look at the sites of the respective government agencies, you only get those permits, when you already have a company that is going to do the paperwork for you, stating that they will hire you, so that you wont be a burden on the social system.
so unless you are in some super highly in demand thing, its going to be very hard, no matter your skin color.
>>46794527
Not all MENA are rich, I got grants and stuff for achievements so I basically pay less than 50% of the fees
>middleclassfag.jpg
>>46794530
>>46794535
I guess that international image is very important, tho I only apply for internships destined for "international" students and for the "work permit" as long as I'am enrolled as a student I don't need it, I just need a hosting company to say he is interning for me and I get a visa for a year at least (not the biggest issue here)
>>46794510
people from your area are here known as those that come with boats to Italy and via Greece, get cooped up in immigrant prison or if they do make it to other countries and end up as a cleaner or worker on a farm. Even if they are skilled doctors in their old country.
So basically should i give up ?
>>46794655
Stop thinking the U.S. is the only viable country to continue your studies.
Every third-world shithole student only wants to go the the U.S.
>>46794430
why not going to europe ?
Studied a semester in india.
Most useless time in my life. Their teaching habit is abysmal and getting straight As there doesn't really mean anything.
Don't know about other countries but I heard syria has a decent educational system.
>>46794686
I need something that would distinguish me academically /professionally .. basically I have 3 options : Canada / US / Scandinavian counties
I don't intend to stay there for good ... just a year or so to add to my CV

their IT approach is like bruteforce ... messy and dumb
>>46794734

>>46794734
It might not hurt looking up where the main IT focus is in Europe or any other place. Stop fucking looking at the U.S.
Do you even know where Intel, AMD, TSMC, Samsung order their machines?
Don't you have some women to rape or statues to smash, muhammad?
>>46794757
Elaborate.
>>46794451
Basically this.
Your education is not the same. "Doctors" in Pakistan and India cannot be real doctors in the U.S. They are not even considered remotely similar. You have to do a number of tests to be accredited and most of them fail.
So you may think that you are better than everyone locally around you (its not hard, probably everyone is retarded), but you are not competitive against non-animal humans
>>46794734
> academically /professionally
> just a year or so to add to my CV
Would it be such a sin to find someplace that you actually WANT to go, or an organization that seems legitimately interesting to you, instead of just to add another bulletpoint to your resume?
God, I want to puke every time I hear an engineering student talk about how to make themselves appear more marketable. Like you're some sort of human computer that you need to sell.
>>46794755
I only apply for something where the company is offering a position with these specs ...
that is my point , they ask for "international" but apparently not all internationals are born equal
>>46794582
> I only apply for internships destined for "international" students and for the "work permit" as long as I'am enrolled as a student I don't need it
Hm, that sucks. Then your kinds "image" could play a role. since MENA is quite a big area, what country are you from?
But still, that shit is highly competitive! I am german, and Germany is currently suffering from a severe "Fachkräftemangel" (lack of skilled workers for certain things) according to the media. But even there, being a "Fachkraft", it took me 6 months to find a job. you dont need to be just good, you need to be the best.
>>46794734
>I need something that would distinguish me academically /professionally .. basically I have 3 options : Canada / US / Scandinavian counties
why only those three?
for distinguishing, other countries that are seen as "very advanced" in your home area should also be valid.
>>46794770
not op but I studied a semester there.
It was all textbook lessons. Professor came in (if he did) and only read from a book.
Most exams where 6 to 7 questions about said book. That's it. And it was a top indian
university!
>>46794764
>>46794768
already said ..I'm not muslim
>>46794770
they teach "techniques" and not approaches or methods so you'd get good CRUD programmers not engineers... when they face a problem they just put a team of 20 on it until they try everything and find a -somehow- working solution
>>46794782
I'm not in Pakistan or whatever... my diploma is officially equivalent to the one in EU/Canada and Australia ..
>>46794783
Ideally yes I 'd love to ... but when I can't even get anyone to respond, how am I supposed to aim for what I like?
>>46794764
Fuck off, we're full.
people from the middle east fucking suck at tech, no offense but generally speaking immigrants from the middle east are absolute shit at tech. Additionaly North America gets a shitload of goddam apllications from all over the world, you being good is irrelevent there is someone who has a more impressive portfolio than you. Applicants from Europe and east asia will always be chosen over you because those areas have far more reputable educational systems. There is also a general perception that Europeans and Asians are much harder workers and can intergrate into north american society much better.
>mfw most MENA programmers I met where both lazy in how they write code and inssuferabbly smug cunts
>>46794846
Where do you hail from and why have you only focused on America?
>>46794804
Specifically Tunisia ,
most offers are coming from there, I wouldn't know what to look for elsewhere
>>46794829
again , op is not Indian
>>46794880
not specifically but most offers I find come form there
>>46794829
Are they able to get away with that? I don't think they could fake their way through an interview if they don't know shit.
>>46794913
why do you think companies in real countries won't entertain them?
>>46794846
>when they face a problem they just put a team of 20 on it until they try everything and find a -somehow- working solution
Well, the one thing India does have is over abundant manpower. I'm not saying that approach is smart, but if engineers are a dime a dozen it's at least understandable.
Why is France retarded in IT fields?
Also, the thread subject rustled my jimmies.
Good job, Karim.
>>46794846
Your diploma may or may not be equivalent. It depends on where your went. But not being at a western uni will make western employers hesitant to employ you because they are completely unfamiliar with the validity of your uni.
Additionally western employers care a lot more about who you know then anything on your resume. And employers are probably nervous that your English isn't good.
So basically you need to network, like everyone else in the west.
>>46794919
>in real countries
What about "even in 3rd world countries"? Why would anyone including indian companies consider hiring someone incompetent?
Have you ever considered taking the boat to Italy?

Which is why you should be mad at the people buying their degrees instead of earning them like you. They completely corrupt the image of the people having the degree being worth hiring.
>>46795043
No, stay out of Japan. They don't need more foreigners.

OP, I don't know where you're from, but as a guy doing his masters and having TA'ed several classes, I don't have a good impression of MENA people at all.
You can say I'm generalizing and whatever, but MENA students fall into 2 kinds: The hyper-competitive kind who has no life and demands his project group to do the same, and the completely unmotivated kind who's just there to say they attended a murican university on their CV.
Every semester I get at least one complaint from regarding such students.
At least with the east asians I see kids who are somewhere in between and more 'normal' and they actually get along with the locals.
You can even joke about China being totalitarian and they'll tell you how much they wish they could get out of China but can't... however, I don't think I dare to joke about MENA things because they look like they could pull a knife on me any moment.

Rakuten is run like a military organization isn't it? I had a friend interning there and he tells me about it sometimes.
Company perks are pretty good though.
>>46795158
>I don't think I dare to joke about MENA things because they look like they could pull a knife on me any moment.
So fucking much of this. Mena people are fucking nuts. It probbably stems from Islam but if you so much as dare to imply their shitty backwards societies are flawed they just loose their shit.
Asians are pretty cool though, especially japanese. With chinese it's a hit or miss kinda thing.

Here's how Universities make money.
1.Sell your wares to countries you know will never remotely have a chance in hell of practicing in your home country with the promise of 'recognition' and 'equivalence'
2. Make sure there's not a chance in hell said people will able to practice in your region.
3. ????

Why are you recommending this to someone who doesn't speak Japanese?
Even if he can speak English at work, he won't be able to speak it anywhere else.
Rakuten's a nice company but salaries in general in Japan are lower than in US/Canada for IT/Tech, and the yen is weak right now so it's even worse. Throw OP not speaking Japanese on top of that and this is a terrible idea.

Depends on the country, I'm form Chile, studied this thing called "Informatic Engineering", which is Software engineering, and I got a job in Germany for 4 years in a pretty nice company. But I also had german citizenship thanks to my gramps, that might have helped.

>Benefits:

and Since OP is from MENA rakuten might even ask him about his region and even ask about ways for rakuten to gain foothold in that region.
>>46795513
Having citizenship and/or knowing the language like its your own,its the ONLY thing you need to land great job in Europe.Degree and uni dont mater much.
Why are you fucking tards taking this obvious hair. For fuck sake
>>46795413
>but salaries in general in Japan are lower than in US/Canada for IT/Tech
Everything is low in Japan, even for executives (Toyota CEO only earns a fraction of what Ford CEO does) but they more than make that up with stability, and plus if OP is already an otaku then Japan will be his mecca for consumerist lifestyle
>>46794430
Why would they hire someone from MENA when they have plenty of local talent? There are laws which stop companies from hiring foreigners when there is no talent shortage locally.
Why not start a local company and offer outsourcing? I'm sure that's work great. Especially if you speak English, French and Spanish.
>>46795631
Yes, IF he is an otaku that loves Japan and has studied the language so that he has a foundation then it's a good choice, but I don't see anything in this thread indicating that's the case.

Hey OP, I didn't read the whole thread, as I'm lazy. I'm myself from a third world country in a rich one. I don't know if there is direct prejudice, it is just that it is way more difficult to know about the past of someone from a country you don't know well, the quality of the institution, etc... They have no reference, so they do not take the risk. But go on OP, if you try enough you will get it.
Why do third worlders think they're entitled to American jobs that not even Americans are getting? I don't get it. I don't think I'm entitled to Japanese or Korean jobs.

>>46795979
that's not true you retard, stop believing everything you read on /pol/ lmao
>>46796655
Make a temp email without your actual name in it. Cold call a place you want to work, tell them that you've been trying to apply to int'l internships and that you haven't heard back from any if them and you're afraid that you're doing something wrong or breaking some cultural taboo, so you wanted to try speaking with an actual human to make sure you had all this stuff right. If they ask for your information, give them your first name but say that you're uncomfortable giving your last name for now. Also give them your temp email. This is so that if you fuck up or they blacklist cold callers, you won't get hit by it.
Eventually you'll hit someone who'll be like, "Sure I'll put in a good word for you since you sound p. awesome," and hopefully that's the foot in the door you need.
But yes it's racism; partly because shit like the 9/11 hijackers coming here to learn to fly and whatnot. I have to imagine that you're fucked if you're coming here for cybersecurity as an intern; the only way they'd let a foreign national in on that kind of work is if they'd been thoroughly vetted, and the easiest way to do that is to be part of a military with a security cooperation agreement with the US.
Finally, when you get over here with your shiny new internship, don't be racist to blacks/Latinos because one of them just gave you some damn good advice.
