Actually I think that works to your advantage. There’s a class of hiring managers who figure that if you went to college in America but didn’t go to Harvard, Yale or MIT, you’re not qualified to tie your own shoes. They don’t know anything about foreign universities, though, so they figure one is as good as any other.

Fortunately I picked a niche where my countrymen dominate so all worked out fine. >They don’t know anything about foreign universities, though, so they figure one is as good as any other. I've literally seen directors grab a senior manager in the hall with "I'm supposed to interview this person who is from same country as you - look at this CV and tell me does this look solid"
