hey guys, i need your help i'm graduating soon and would like your advice on what to do next. i want to do my own thing, but i don’t want to go back to Europe, and being an immigranto in hard tech makes it harder to do it here. it may be a long shot, but i'm wondering if anyone in my network is looking for engineers. a bit about myself may help. i have a bachelor’s in material science and a master’s in nanotechnology engineering, and i'm wrapping up a phd in biomedical engineering. beyond the degrees, i'm someone who likes working on complex problems, driven by curiosity and the thrill of finding new solutions. i don’t really care about money, give me a challenging project, a place to sleep (the lab is fine), some food, and gym access, and as long as we are climbing the kardashev scale, i'm set. i'm honestly willing to work as a janitor if i can stay in the states and contribute to something meaningful. if you know someone, i’d be really grateful. thanks
@IterIntellectus When are you graduating? You could possibly help us with hardware if you’re willing to learn
@IterIntellectus anyone would be lucky to have you king 🫡 good luck 🙏
@IterIntellectus use buildlist.xyz and let me know which ones you think are cool. I can see if I have a direct connect
@IterIntellectus Vittorio my man! Any US company would be privileged to have you. Things aren't exactly getting easier for immigrants I think but you got the credentials man. You got this! Best of luck from a fellow immigrant!
@IterIntellectus @netcapgirl If I get funding I will probably be hiring some materials science people and doing stuff that includes some nanomaterials in high performance structural/thermostructural materials.
you gotta hit up the VC with phds like @shaunmmaguire, @ilyaf, @xuezhao, etc etc. if you’re trying to make startup moves and need advice on expertise x interests match. Will likely get more meaningful direction than the weighted average of randoms in the comments. also maybe @DanielleFong and @sampritibh are plugged into this area? many of them are immigrants too! like me but sadly no PhD for me so I can’t help 🥲🤷🏾♀️ cold emails or DMs go a long way imo
Here’s an elite individual that could add a lot of value to any of your companies. We want his talent in the US. @PalmerLuckey @garrytan @peterthiel @Peter_J_Beck @benkohlmann @jamoses92 @wolfejosh @WillBruey @sundeep @2112Power @FutureJurvetson @DrJimFan @pronounced_kyle @GoddenThomas @ssankar @johncoogan @AviSchiffmann @AbhayVenkatesh1 @jasonjoyride @alexisohanian @zebulgar @BrianRoemmele
@IterIntellectus Potential places to look that are awesome @natosaichek @LongshotSpace @ELoosbrock @Ourosenergy @MattLoszak Aalo @MattGialich AstroForge @k2pilot Astro Mechanica @teddyfeld mining Not hard tech but @drewsanocki @getpostpilot is an incredible growing biz
@IterIntellectus Have you tried to apply for a research position at colleges? No way you don’t fit the bill
@IterIntellectus If my round gets funded I would hire. No promises but I need like-minded engineers
I can’t print green cards, sorry. Just commenting for visibility, hopefully someone can help out. Have you tried the job tab on X yet? Any potential fit? Best of luck 🤞 PS: worst case scenario if you end up having to go back to Europe: find a big enough employer, with US based offices, and get them to send you back to the US on an L1 visa once you’ve had more exp. Obviously not ideal, but that’s always a plan B if you really get stuck.
@IterIntellectus There has to be at least 1 person in the e/acc community that can hook you up with a referral🫶 I would if I wasn't a student. I'm sure good things will come your way king❤️
@IterIntellectus somebody find this chad a job god dammit
@IterIntellectus holy heck those are cool credentials what are the most fascinating projects you've seen lately and what would be your dream kind of project to get to work on? curious for more detail on where you'd like to continue to deep dive if you could go anywhere
@IterIntellectus amazing attitude. you'll find something in no time
@IterIntellectus Same I’m graduating too need to feel something but I hope you get something I’ll give you a repost
@IterIntellectus read @80000Hours guide, u'll enjoy it <3
@IterIntellectus @Figure_robot @neuralink hire this guy
@IterIntellectus Currently hiring for a remote summer internship that can extend to full time!
@IterIntellectus If you have papers you can go for an eb1 green card application.
@IterIntellectus Damn that’s a lot of achievements, congrats on your upcoming graduation, i hope you find something!
