I have done masters from the US, so I had 3 attempts at H1B lottery. I wasn't picked up this time, which was my 2nd attempt. I am planning to move to India (Bangalore) but Facebook doesn't have an office there. Is there a FAANG or equivalent who would hire me (in the US) even though I have just 1 attempt left at H1B (OPT expires Aug, 2022)? The eventual plan is to transfer to India. There are 2 reasons: 1. I understand that you keep your US stocks when you move to India. This will significantly bump my TC 2. I understand how the interview processes at FAANG work in US. Not sure how they work in India or if they're willing to interview candidates who aren't in India at the moment. Plus I've heard that interviews are significantly harder in India due to intense competition. Reasons for moving to India are: Getting married and wife has a settled job in India, parents and also never really planned on spending my whole life in US so why not just move now. (I am also open to directly interviewing in India but wanted to explore the option of internal transfer) TC: 250K, 5.5 years work-ex, Data Scientist [I should have about 2cr savings by the end of the year] #tech #india #h1b #faang
FAANGMULA companies won’t even give you an interview. First hand experience, it was my last attempt this year and recruiters from all the companies ended the conversation as soon as they learnt it’s my last attempt.
I would still apply to external companies instead of relying on blind and rule out that option. Is there not an option for fb to send you to dub/Singapore/syd?.
Yeah Facebook will transfer to London, Singapore, Dublin but not sure if I want to restart life in a country that I know nothing about. So either I want to stay in US or just go back India. Haven't ruled out anything though, just conveying my thought process.
Got it..I interviewed at google couple of years ago for a position that was available in mt.view/Singapore and India and during the call recruiter said I can pick the location at the end before accepting offer.. so ya I would recommend apply external and talk to recruiter openly about it that you want to move to india office if you don't get h1b next year
As I have thought more about my job search days during my masters I feel extremely grateful to have failed Apple, Lyft, Bloomberg, Facebook, Stripe interviews and other non India based companies. Frankly the only high paying companies having big presence in India are OCI, Google, Uber, Salesforce, LinkedIn , Intuit, Microsoft and Amazon. I would suggest you join Amazon, because you could literally interview and transfer to Bangalore or Hyderabad on Day 1 itself. And yes Both microsoft and Amazon hire if you have 1 H1b attempt left. Best of luck OP, even I plan to transfer back to India but not because my wife is there but to actually find a wife for myself in India 😅
Okay. I was actually at Amazon before joining Facebook. There is another person on this thread mentioned that no FAANGMULA would hire with 1 H1B attempt left. I have heard conflicting views on the net. Not sure what to believe.
Don't listen to them. My friends have all gotten interviews from Microsoft and Amazon in their final H1b attempt.

Is grass dumb?
Most/all companies in fangmula will not interview if it’s your last chance.
