I can tell you learned English as a second (maybe third) language. Great job on your first article! You can only get better. and Congratulations on your job! I'm so inspired.

Because you're in the USA, unfortunately you will be looked down on and not always taken seriously because of "accent" and english that isn't clear.

However there are videos you can watch and online courses you can take to help you with that. It will help you communicate better at work (and can potentially translate to more money too since you can negotiate better and communicate with supervisors better).

This is a good channel to start with: youtube.com/user/ENGLISHCLASS101

All the best!

Thanks for the amazing feedback.
But for English trust me, no one can underrate me based on my accent, especially when i make it to a great company like Google, and i will leave negative people and companies who pay attention to accent behind me forever. I grow fast and my energy is always positive and super high, so basically if i join a new team, i put effort to grow and learn fast, then at the end, people are seeing my skills not my accent.
i already attend lots of meetings with lots of people and i use my accent to communicate effectively well without any issues.

Best Regards
