Hi. I have a Master's in Mechanical Engineering from an US University. I couldn't find a job in Mechanical engineering but I was able to get a job in IT. I studied programming in Javascript and Angularjs my self and cracked the interview after a lot of tries. I am currently working as a contractor through an IT consultancy for about one year. I am in STEM extension now and I am confident that with my experience in these technologies I can land a full time job. However I heard from my friends that if I don't have a degree in IT/CS this may cause issues for H1 as I will be doing job non related to my field. (My consultancy currently shows me as a Programmer Analyst).
My current justification for working in IT is just One of my courses that taught me numerical analysis. In this course I did programming in MatLAB and implemented many algorithms. My friends are saying this is not a good justification.
So I was thinking of taking a online degree in IT. I stumbled into this website Udacity. They offer something called NanoDegree.
I was thinking if taking one of these NanoDegree might justify my work not related to my field of study.
Will Udacity NanoDegrees be considered as a valid basis for working in IT from a non IT field?
