As a French, this whole idea of references in the US blows my mind. How can you get a good reference from the employer you just left? There is this surrealist idea of work ethics where the employer would say that John was great and we don't mind he left us in the middle of a project. I was asked once by a US company for references, gave a few good friends who said that I was the next Elon Musk combined with Einstein, and probably Peace Nobel Prize winner. And that I had this terrible flaw of working my ass off for my company. I passed with flying colors I am glad that with everything wrong we have on France, at least we do not go through this madness.
