I’m sorry to hear that, lots of Indians are struggling in the US nowadays & moving back to India, you’re not alone. US immigrations nowadays are harassing every Indian with their stupid unfair policies in OPT/CPT, H1b lottery, ICE site visits, Greencards, etc.Job opportunities always depend on the specified fields, skills, and experience, without knowing your profile I can’t recommend you anything.But what I hear that at the moment India is going with a high unemployment rate right now, lots of Indians are unemployed and struggling hard to land with a job.If you have any prior work experience before moving to the US, you can once again try in the same company, or else try to seek some favors from your relatives or friends.Do remember there are lots of fraud job consultancies in India and they ask for money for scheduling an interview or guarantee you a job. Don’t fall for that, they will take your money & won’t provide any service. Be careful!

True, that book is indeed a great read and the 10,000 hours to be an expert concept is very interesting to say the least. I'm no hacker but I have used a few time tracking tools and among them, I’d highly recommend Hubstaff as probably the best one out there. If what you're looking for is to get insights on your work progress and track the time spent on any task or project, then I think Hubstaff will be of great help to you. It’s simple, very user-friendly and has a free trial version (no need to give credit card info upfront) so you can test it out for yourself first if it suits you. Here are some of the other things that it can do:Monitor apps used, sites visited and location if neededRecord your activity levels and idle time to keep track of your productivity throughout the day or your work hoursGet insights on which tasks you spend most time on and which task would probably require more of your attention and effortsSurprisingly lightweight and wouldn’t crash or slow down your pcAutomated and comprehensive reports on your productivity and time logsAllows integrations with a lot of other tools such as Salesforce, JIRA, Trello, Github, etc. (you can see them all here)Optional random screenshots featureIncludes payment and invoicing optionsThere’s a whole bunch more of what it can do but I strongly suggest you go try it out for yourself and see if this is what will work for you!Hope this helps!

Yes, but using click and visit data to rank results is a very reasonable and logical thing to do, and ignoring the data would have been silly. For Bing to use click and visit data from a competitor seems to be more clever than wrong given their lower market share and lower organic quality.It's pretty clear that any reasonable search engine would use click data on their own results to feed back into ranking to improve the quality of search results. Infrequently clicked results should drop toward the bottom because they're less relevant, and frequently clicked results bubble toward the top. Building a feedback loop is a fairly obvious step forward in quality for both search and recommendations systems, and a smart search engine would incorporate the data. The actual mechanics of how click data is used is often proprietary, but Google makes it obvious that it uses click data with its patents on systems like "Rank-adjusted content items"[1].Both the Google toolbar and the Bing toolbar provide the ability to collect even more data by sending back information about queries and visited sites. Google makes this clear on its privacy page [2]:Any time you use the Google Toolbar to contact Google, such as by sending a search query to Google, the Toolbar sends standard, limited information including your machine's IP address and one or more cookies . This data is retained in Google's server logs and protected according to our general Privacy Policy.Toolbar's enhanced features, such as PageRank and Sidewiki, operate by sending Google the addresses and other information about sites at the time you visit them.And Microsoft similarly makes it clear as an opt-in option on the installation screen of Bing toolbar:Help Microsoft improve your online experience with personalized content by allowing us to collect additional information about your system configuration, the searches you do, websites you visit, and how you use our software. We will also use this information to help improve our products and services.The natural extension of having all this query and site visit data in the context of improving search quality is to correlate queries with site visits and incorporate that data into ranking. From Google's blog post, it's clear that they knew Bing was doing this at least since the summer of 2010 [3]. Most likely Bing started by first matching up queries to its own search engine through Bing toolbar with sites that users visited afterwards, and boosting those results in ranking, since that would have been the easiest to do.Since that probably worked well, the next logical step would've been to incorporate site visit data through queries to other search engines like Google as well and to not only boost those results but to also incorporate them into the index if missing. Their implementation could even have been agnostic of Google initially and just incorporated the visit data after any query, though given how strong of a signal Google is, I'd be surprised if there weren't at least some consideration of whether a result came from Google or not. It'd be a huge oversight not to use whether the source was Google as a ranking signal.All of these steps are really logical extensions of the previous steps, and ignoring the wealth of available data if they provide good quality signals would have been silly. What Bing is doing is not that much different than if a restaurant owner read positive customer reviews on Yelp about things that were working well at other restaurants, and then implemented those practices himself, except in a highly automated fashion. Since searches through the Bing toolbar won't cover the query space, it's clear that the Bing team is accurate in saying that they use many other signals for ranking [4]. But if you saw the query [hiybbprqag] and had no other ranking signals other than that 20 users who searched for that query subsequently went to the exact same site, it's highly likely that the site is the correct result for the query, and it'd be stupid not to algorithmically show that result given little to no other data, especially since Google was willing to show the result.The main downside for Google, and the reason that they feel that they have to publicly complain, is not so much that what Bing is doing is wrong but that Google has much less to gain relative to Bing through toolbar data. Their organic search results are superior in quality, and they have more market share and data for ranking anyways. What Google should focus more on instead is their results UI so that even if Bing has the same result, Google makes the results page more useful by surfacing more relevant snippets or metadata about the result.It's also interesting to run the thought experiment of whether Bing could theoretically run the same experiment with Bing search through the Google toolbar and similarly game results in Google search. Unless Google explicitly filters out Bing-related data, it seems like the impact would factor into ranking in some way or another.[1] http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.htm&r=1&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PTXT&S1=7,610,282.PN.&OS=pn/7,610,282&RS=PN/7,610,282[2] http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81841[3] http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/microsofts-bing-uses-google-search.html[4] http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/search/archive/2011/02/01/thoughts-on-search-quality.aspx
