2024 marks the 10th year of Lan, a two-time international student (first in Belarus, then in the U.S.) and cultural psychologist, being in the United States. Lan shares with me her love-hate relationship with the roadblocks—the H1B visa and immigration status—that stand in her dream of becoming a professor. There were many times she felt like giving up on academia because the ride it's too rugged. The lack of freedom of choice makes her feel vulnerable. Nonetheless, she managed to turn her vision from 10 years ago into reality. . 🎙️You Are Not Alone | The H1b Talk Podcast is a place dedicated for us international students, where we share our struggles and celebrate our wins in the job search, h1b process, career and daily life in the United States.

Professor in HR and organizational behavior, mama of two boys, coffee shop owner and a new-coming Q-grade, Ning joins me today to talk about a path that she never planned. There are sparkles in Ning’s eyes whenever she talks about teaching or her students, she did not imagined to be a professor at first. Unlike many who are so stressed over H1b and the status in general, Ning did not know much about H1b yet got it as part of a teaching position. Life seems full of potential and U.S. could just be a testing field for Professor Hou. Check out Ning’s Our Immi-great Life postcast, hosted jointly with Kelly. https://open.spotify.com/show/4DcduYjn7vo8UmmpBEHlrs?si=jYHMAywMRKSTQhFFGsf-AA 🎙️You Are Not Alone | The H1b Talk Podcast is a place for us international students and general public alike, where we share our struggles and celebrate our wins in the job search, h1b process, career and daily life.
Product is not the only thing Ming designs. A marketer turned product designer, our guest of this episode also designs her own life and career path. Although she can plan and steer the ways, she has been through some challenging times to remove the roadblocks such as H1b, mindsets, and moving to LA under the 90 day unemployment clock. The international student label remains a key identity to us, yet it can sometimes be a chain limiting the possibilities one’s able to create. Let’s hear about Ming’s story and her suggestions for fellow international students and job seekers on being proactive.
