The stock grants in US ones definitely are better off, a lot of Europeans also use this and go back.
- vsskanth 6y agoMajority of STEM grad students in the US are either from India or China. They are also the biggest pool of potential immigrants (2B+ combined population). For Chinese, it's becoming more and more attractive to just stay back (current geopolitical tensions aren't helping). If you're a EU citizen, grad school in the US is not that attractive comparitively unless you're specifically targeting a lab. Over there you have flexible options like doing a PhD through research projects at work (some govts even give you a subsidy for this). Full time grad students have decent benefits too.
- actuator 6y agoAs far as I understand most of the Indian STEM(specially CS) students treat higher studies in US as a pathway to a job in US. I was asking as to how many eventually go into academia professionally. For Chinese, I think there are a lot of other strong reasons to stay back. As I understand from the amount of research coming out of their unis in mainland, they seem to have improved a lot there. Also, R&D in some industries reaching on par to Western counterparts, with jobs paying quite well in big cities, so little reason for them to move away from their homeland.
