I don't know what you're talking about. As a new graduate, I have a very hefty Data Science offer in the Bay.

(Canadian here btw).

Oh I see. I work on OPT, but am not Mexican or Canadian citizen. I think all STEM majors who studied in an American university have the right to work in US for 3 years in a job very close to what they studied.
