I can speak for myself, I co-founded and run a tech company in Cambridge MA.
We are looking for machine-vision programmers and the ones who have experience in thsi space are all either snapped up by amazon, fb and google or doing their own startup.
Our choices were to either hire a freshly minted PhD in AI from MIT (H1b) or from the legion of the resume-padded "locals" with made up skill-sets, who expect a job, just because their highness graced our interview and deigned to come to our office. Not to mention that they wouldn't pass a basic programming test.
Believe me, I would MUCH rather hire an American than jump through the visa hoops, it costs thousands of dollars upfront, with no certainty of outcome, plus the hire is only with us for 3 years! After 3 years, we lose a trained person
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoI know all about 2-D image processing but not about pattern recognition. I've done some algorithmically complex stuff, like Live Picture, which was a combination vector/bitmap graphic editor, which enabled one to do prepress graphic work for magazines and product packaging, by compositing 200 MB bitmap graphics on a 32 MB 68040 Macintosh. Unfortunately, Adobe's marketing people were far better than ours. Our program was far superior to Photoshop, but no one could figure out how to actually sell it. Given that, could you use me? I'd rather not relocate, but if I did relocate, Cambridge would be a top choice for me. I've been there a few times, and once lived in mid-coast Maine.
