USA Job Market is BROKEN for International Students 💔 (My Struggle)

🎓 I’ve applied to 1,000+ jobs and heard nothing back...

In this brutally honest video, I open up about my REAL experience as an international student struggling in the U.S. job market after graduating from Northeastern University. From rejection emails at 3 AM to the pressure of OPT deadlines and $80,000+ in student loans — this is what it’s like to job hunt on an F-1 visa in 2025.

I’ve done it all: tailored resumes, optimized LinkedIn, cold emails, career fairs... yet silence. And I know I’m not the only one.

💥 In this video, I talk about:
Why the job market feels broken for F-1 visa holders
The harsh truth about sponsorship rejections
My mental health struggles, burnout, and guilt
Fake consultancies and OPT scams targeting students
How nepotism & internal hires ruin the chances for real applicants
What you need to know BEFORE trusting job postings

🎯 Whether you're an international student or just curious about the visa/job grind, this video is for you.
