一位在美国攻读博士学位的国际学生，主攻3D计算机视觉，并对机器学习有相当的了解，对未来的就业前景感到担忧。该学生已在CVPR、3DV和ICRA上发表了3篇论文，并有望在明年的ICCV和NeurIPS上再发表2篇。其具体研究领域是3D重建，近期专注于高斯泼溅。由于政策变化，该学生担心自己的努力可能付诸东流，因为其祖国的机会有限。
Hey everyone, I'm an international student studying in the US. I'm on track to graduate late next year. My research is not exactly ML, it is in 3D computer vision but have decent exposure to ML as well.
In case you didn't know, the CPT program (which let's internation students do internships) has been suspended by many top universities (UC Berkeley, UIUC, Purdue, UNC, UCLA, stanford, etc). Given that there is now no way for me to do an internship, how hard will it be for me to get a job when I'm nearing graduation?
I have 3 papers in CVPR, 3DV and ICRA (robotics conference) and hope to publish 2 more at next year's ICCV and neurips before graduating. I'm just worried that all my hardwork will go for a waste because of this policy change (I'm from a 3rd world country, so not much opportunity back home).
To be crystal clear, I'm not asking for legal advice, just wanted to know in your experiance, have you seen anyone (international student) get into good industry labs without internships?
EDIT: thanks so much for everyone for the quick replies! If it helps, my specific research area is 3D reconstruction, and I've been focused on Gaussian Splatting recently, if this info helps anyone help me!
