Power of a GC

[tennisluvr]

I have a cousin, naakanna oka 3 years older. Came to US for Bachelor's back in 1998 and also got his MS after that. Spoke to him yesterday he was telling me, he got a family sponsor for his GC and had it before he came down to the US. He started working for a company that had 30 employees at that time. Today it has 5000 employees and has been rated as one of the top 20 fastest growing companies in the US for the last 2-3 years. When he joined he was the 6th employee and their first engineer, so ended up getting mentored by the CEOs directly. Last year he was promoted to the CTO and being one of the earliest employees, got a lot of stock portfolio apart from bonuses. 

He is apparently quitting the company now to start his own business and with all the stocks and bonuses he made, he's a multi millionaire apparently. I think he did the smart thing, instead of joining an established company as a nobody he joined a company that was a nobody at that time. He's traveling the world to find some business contacts etc to setup his business. 

What a difference having a GC does to a person, compared to how we keep slogging it out till eternity. Just wanted to share.

Of course he's a very smart guy and knows what to do at what time. But just saying even then if he didn't have a GC, he would have faced the same troubles most of us are facing. 

Even among us, I am sure there are a few smart people who can make a difference in terms of joining a start up and make it succeed but due to our visa situation, we won't even get a chance to try it. By the time we end up getting a GC, we will be too old and lost our youth.

Yeah not saying it's completely due to GC, he's of course a very smart guy. But even then bro, he didn't have to worry about someone sponsoring his visa, his GC etc. He could think clearly and take risks in life because he knew he didn't have to lose much. 

For people like you and I, even a small risk of that sort means we end up losing everything and going back to our country. So we can't even think that far is what I meant to say.

H1B unte he wouldn't have been hired in such a small company. 

Even now, they hire H1Bs in very very limited quantity ani cheppadu. Mainly because H1B has such a bad rep in public domain right now, almost as if H1Bs are all job stealers trying to put Americans out of work. 

And since this is a small company still based out of a smaller city, they want the local support which they wouldn't find much if they were to hire those "foreigners". That said, since they are expanding so rapidly now he said they were coming up with policies to hire some H1Bs.

Haha I hear you bro, I am like that too. Too many things on my mind make me do nothing except work for a paycheck month to month.
