3 types of people should not come to America in 2026

A US degree in 2026 is not an automatic update and not everyone should opt for it, a career coach said.

A LinkedIn post by a career coach pointed out that moving to the US would not solve all the problems; There are some people who are better off in India and they should understand that one should not hastily decide to move to America in the middle of their career. Anushka Sharma, head of growth, Open Ventures, said that recently a friend asked her if she should pursue MS in the US. His answer was ‘no’ because the friend was earning Rs 18 lakh in Bengaluru. Sharma said that America is not bad and his advice to his friend was not because of the current state of America, but because that friend was already “winning a game that most international students are still trying to get into”.Sharma said that people should not come to America for wrong reasons, as it can ruin their career. In his post he highlighted three types of people who should not come to America and should reconsider if they are planning to do so.1. People in CS, IT or Data Science in India are already earning around Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh“You already have what most international students fly around the world in pursuit of. Here your post-graduation salary may not even match the salary you are leaving behind. You are not upgrading. “You are gambling with a strong hand,” the advice said.2. Freshers with zero skillsAmerican degrees will save if the candidate does not have the right skills. The post reads, “Even Harvard, Stanford and MIT students can’t get jobs right now without real skills. The American degree is a stamp, not a skill. Recruiters are hiring builders, not audience members with brand-name transcripts.”3. People whose financial situation cannot support going to AmericaSharma wrote, “A bad loan today is a 10-year loan sentence tomorrow. Salaries are low, job searches are long, and the OPT clock doesn’t care about your family’s EMIs. The American dream is real. But it’s not the default. It’s a calculated bet.”
