After 11 years, I’m finally saying goodbye to Chico, California. This might be one of the last videos I ever record from this town, the place where I came as an international student from Mumbai, earned my Master’s in Computer Science, built my career, bought my first home, and thought I’d eventually retire. In this video, I open up about why I’m permanently leaving Chico, the emotions behind this decision, and the realities that slowly pushed me This is an honest conversation about outgrowing a place, especially as an immigrant navigating career, health, marriage, and purpose in America. And I’ll let you guess where I’m headed next? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FREE weekly newsletter and join 40624+ community members, where I share actionable study abroad tips, job search advice, and high-quality industry insights: https://link.yudij.com/newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ultimate Job Hunting Course (For JobSeekers): https://academy.yudij.com/jobhuntyt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ultimate F1 Visa Course (Taught by Visa Officer): https://link.yudij.com/f1visacourse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free 15-minute legal consultation: A short, no-cost call to chat with top-tier immigration lawyers and get help on your most pressing questions. link: https://link.yudij.com/legal-help 30-minute consultation for talent and extraordinary ability visas For deeper discussions around O-1, EB-1, and other talent-based visas, with Manifest Law, my trusted immigration law firm.
