       Ask HN: How to get a good pay SDE job in US?
        
       I am a student pursuing Btech in Computer Science from a reputed
       college in India(BITS) and would like to settle in the US after my
       graduation. I have done 2 internships in tier 1 companies, 1 of
       which is currently ongoing and lasts 6 months, and one internship
       in Govt research institute, all are SDE based interns.  I have an
       SDE job offer from Amazon and it does allow the at-will foreign
       transfer, but it takes 3-4 years and WLB is not great as I have
       heard.  I do not have any research experience per se and would not
       even like to go in those fields (ML/AI), I am mostly a systems guy
       doing backend/scripting stuff.  I would love to hear from people
       with some similar background on how did you get a job in the US,
       how difficult it is to get a job there for a person from India? Is
       it necessary that I do an MS there at some university? When should
       I start applying and how? If anyone else would like to pitch in and
       give their viewpoints, I would be glad to hear from you.  This is
       my first post at HN, so forgive me if I violated some rules
