A Gurgaon-based entrepreneur, Rajesh Sawhney, has issued a warning about the decreasing availability of jobs for international students in the US, Canada, and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This warning comes in the context of increased immigration restrictions in these countries, making it harder for international students to remain after completing their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Jobs in US, Canada, UK: CEO Of GSF Accelerator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sawhney is the Founder and CEO of GSF Accelerator and has academic credentials from the Harvard Business School and the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his own international education background, Sawhney believes<\/a> the favorable era for international students is now over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he cautioned parents against investing heavily in overseas education for their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wrote, \u201cThere are no jobs in USA, Canada and UK for International students… Honeymoon is over, parents should think twice before spending crores on the expensive education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that a previously reliable path\u2014Indian students, particularly IIT graduates, doing a master\u2019s in the US and landing high-paying tech jobs\u2014no longer works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cEngg students especially IITians had an easy hack, do masters in the US and get a $200K starting tech job. This hack works no more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His comments sparked a broader discussion on social media about the job market and immigration challenges for international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One user commented, \u201cTrue! I was there in 2017, people were getting a $150k offer in the first quarter of education BEFORE the career fair. NOW, that same person is at Google and scared s* that she will be laid off!\u201d**<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user responded positively, saying, \u201cI am more bullish for those engineers come back to India and build billion dollar startups. Imagine all those YC startups by Indians, building from India for the world. That will be legendary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layoffs By Indian Startups Decrease 52% In Last 12 Months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layoffs in India\u2019s startup ecosystem are noticeably slowing down in 2025<\/a>, suggesting a cautious recovery following a protracted two-year decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just seven Indian startups have let go of 1,602 workers in 2025, according to layoffs.fyi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the same period in 2024, when 20 companies laid off 3,355 employees, this is a significant decrease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
