At every point, you felt like the tech was good enough, but then the community and ecosystem just packed up and left somewhere else - to something that is not debuggable, and has crappy IDE support, and is slow to compile (e.g. Rust) or even run (e.g. React). And this is going to keep happening.

I'm in college now and have just been told I won't be receiving my CS degree. I came in as an English major because my grades weren't good enough to enter the competitive CS program at my school, so I just took CS courses on override. But here too, my grades were not good enough and I won't be allowed to transfer into the major. I'll have to settle for an informatics degree, and after graduation get a CS degree from WGU or something like that.

Now, I am 28 and my most of my work involve reading, writing and speaking in English.

I am very comfortable in reading and writing but when it comes to speaking, I always feel under-confident.

It's a decent income w.r.t living cost.

Doing an MS will drain all of my savings and I will have to deal with risk of finding a job again. However almost all of friends / ex-colleagues have already moved to states and are pursing their education.

My strategy right now is become a much better engineer, be employed by a FAANG (currently interviewing) & then directly apply to States/UK/Canada. Is this flawed?

If this doesn't work out, I will be 27/28 already and would it be too late for MS? I've been worrying a little too much on it, especially since I feel like I am stuck in a limbo while everyone else is already living a much better and happier life.","time":1630257968,"title":"Ask HN: Is MS from States worth being an immigrant?","type":"story"}],[28339640,{"by":"mddanishyusuf","dead":true,"id":28339640,"kids":[28340677,28345580,28353584,28340611,28347606,28339835],"score":12,"time":1630170651,"type":"story"}],[28344952,{"by":"zachrip","descendants":472,"id":28344952,"kids":[28346484,28345234,28345033,28349560,28345012,28345113,28346597,28350403,28347656,28348765,28346764,28349333,28347599,28345064,28348262,28345189,28349553,28345117,28366272,28346928,28346564,28346659,28349561,28345040,28349024,28345036,28345232,28347083,28353082,28348547,28349208,28345245,28347621,28350657,28349899,28345164,28354249,28349830,28346410,28350354,28345048,28346856,28360703,28347136,28349002,28347494,28346603,28349384,28349653,28345230,28345283,28345055,28349410,28347103,28348827,28345398,28347570,28346820,28355601,28348483,28348357,28347585,28348677,28358778,28347907,28348287,28350539,28355334,28349307,28353562,28349395,28345518,28411421,28347207,28349992,28351736,28353057,28347212,28351206,28347459,28362423,28349598,28346630,28345089,28345027,28347370,28351130,28347304,28346631,28349797,28345041,28345640,28346874,28346218,28348900,28347450,28345216],"score":263,"text":"Please don't list things that just need more bodies - specifically looking for intellectual blockers that can be answered in this thread.","time":1630223102,"title":"Ask HN: What problem are you close to solving and how can we help?","type":"story"}]]
