Generalist vs specialist strategy
This is a big debate, but for early-career international students, there is a clear winner.
- Start as a Specialist. It is much easier to sponsor a Cloud Security Engineer than a General Business Assistant.
- Become a specialist to get your foot in the door and secure your visa. Once you have your Green Card or long-term stability, you can zoom out and become a generalist or a manager. Being a specialist makes you hard to replace, which is exactly what you want when you need a visa.
