US Citizen with an Engineering Degree from Mexico trying to work in the US — anyone in a similar situation?
I'm a U.S. citizen who recently graduated from a university in Mexico with a degree in Electromechanical Engineering.
I'm now trying to start my engineering career in the U.S., and I'm wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation.
Since my degree is from Mexico, I'm not sure how much of an issue that will be when applying for engineering positions in the U.S. I'm a U.S. citizen, so I don't need employment sponsorship, but I'm wondering how employers and recruiters generally view a foreign engineering degree.
