A friend of mine at Tufts was telling me about their ML/comp sco programs falling apart. She's doing her PhD and was handed a project previously led by a green card holder who fucked off (because yeah why would you stay in a place that clearly doesn't want you??). Now she's left managing expectations for a project she didn't write the codebase for.
And that was BEFORE the recent disappearing of a Tufts student earlier this week.
I'm a productive SWE at a big tech firm and I'm looking pretty seriously at offices in Canada. Better than hoping I don't get abducted because my voter registration has (D) on it.
Good to hear, I've honestly been wondering how US folks would be received moving to Canada.
Various estimates do put me at nearly a 50% pay cut. Which, if the CoL doesn't scale down at least a little bit, could actually put me in a bit of a bind when supporting my wife as well.
That's if I could actually convince her to consider it, though.
