You should expect no more than the OPT period (3 years for a STEM degree - which would require a decent amount of quants in your degree, otherwise 1 year) assuming you can find an employer) and plan to return home after that. You may get lucky and get an employer to sponsor you a work visa after that, but it’s not something to rely on. (And I wouldn’t be surprised at changes to work authorization legislation in the next few years that make it harder for graduated students to stay and work in the US.)
