As a U.S citizen, and having worked for 5 years in dustry as a Ph.D, you have to bring relevance to the vast majority of Ph.D students and grads. They are curtailed by migratory status, fairly so, to sustain a modicum of incentive here in expert education. What's unfair is keeping foreign talent running the mill for 10 years in academia with little prospect. Both for capable others here, and for themselves as foreign citizens. The AMA is far smarter at preventing this exploitation: us engineers and the rest have made little effort and enjoy a pittance of political power.

I'm a recent PhD graduate with a US citizenship who found a job relatively quickly. I noticed many non-US citizen PhD holders fail to communicate that they can teach them self new skill without training. I think failing to communicate that you are self-teacher is a major reason why non-US citizen PhD holder struggle in finding jobs, besides lacking US citizenship. In my job interview for my first job, the interviewer straight up told me that he knows I have 0 industry experience for the job but he expects me to teach my self the correct skills on the spot.
