Message: <blockquote data-quote="dstefan" data-source="post: 2335" data-attributes="member: 8">This is way too pessimistic a view on the job prospects of international students. Not nearly all of our international students got jobs with a strong programming component last year, and I do not expect that to happen this year either. And they all got jobs, as did the US residents.Going back to what Marc said, doing C++ assignments in the other classes could, for teh time being, substitute a second C++ class.Everyone graduating form the program will have knowledge of C++. Once again, international students will get placed, the one difference being that they need to accept offers quickly, and that leads to a 15-20% starting salary discount. What you do to keep the job, and grow in the job is what matters.It is true that there are jobs - those that have to be filled quickly, for example, that require US residency. But Andy's overall view is a little pessimistic.</blockquote>
