You could go for a 2 year master's degree at a university ideally in SV, but if you have to choose between a mediocre school in SV and a top school on the East Coast I'd go for the top school. This will get your foot in the door.
- data_scientist 12y agoI don't want to go back to school now, I am tired of that. How about working for a US company outside of the USA, before to move within the company ?
- atmosx 12y agoThe problem is the VISA. If you don't have extra-ordinary skills for a company to decide to get you a VISA, it's hard to get a job. Try to spend 1 or 2 years in Europe working for a big institution and also start a submitting code to big, shinny open source projects in the area that is of your interest. Then you can build a portfolio. Also be active here, on github and on SO, will help considerably from what I've seen.
