Video Description

What happens when you do everything right — earn a U.S. master’s degree, apply to thousands of jobs — but things still don’t work out? Meet Chinmay. After completing his Master’s in Computer Science at UMass Lowell, he faced a brutal job market, applied to over 10,000 jobs, and still couldn’t secure a role due to visa restrictions and layoffs. In this candid podcast, Chinmay shares what no one talks about — the emotional rollercoaster, pressure from family, the financial burden of loans, and the tough decision to return to India. But this isn’t a story of defeat — it’s about clarity, resilience, and building a new future. Back in India, Chinmay leveraged his degree, work ethic, and international exposure to secure a full-time role and begin repaying his loan.
