Currently on OPT and trying for H1B(Bank is filing h1b for me). For foreigners, how do you guys cope up with this constant fear? I am also weak in interviewing and other aspects. Edit: New grad š
Still how many chances you have for H1?
All
Cool so you have 3 chances for applying H1. In that case: start reaching out to recruiters in LinkedIn and learn data structures and algorithms. Start leetcoding. Start from easy level so that you will gain confidence on that and progress. Ask for referrals so that you might be lucky to have an opportunity.
You can't solve for it as a new grad. Now you're just rolling dice. Over time, you can become distinctively good at some area making yourself recession proof.
Relax, nothing is under control.
So now you're bragging because you got hired. I will pass on some advice given to me after I announced that I was mocked as I was getting rejected by Stripe: Can't cope Have hope Smoke dope and see how it feels!
Find a white girl and marry her... or a white guy... your call
Or join US army
MAVNI has been scrapped so the US Army option is out.
You cope by having an exit plan: 1.Invest everything,be frugal and max out 401k + 6 months expenses in cash 2. Iām not sure where you live but I donāt own a car 3. No huge mortgages and I always try to look for 6 month leases(short term commitments) 4. Im moving to a new country after 4 years of work here. Basically donāt plan to stay here long.Have a 3-4 year plan where you save well,set up financials and exit to India/a different country.Recognize that your H1 is a ātemporary visaā
I am not Indian so gc time if make it past lottery should be fast for me. My concern is if I lose my job while gc is processing or something
Well then you have nothing to worry about honestly
Don't worry about recession, hone your skills and keep working hard. Don't think about things that are out of your control
Even if u lose job, there is always something. Just be happy and enjoy the time. This fear will always be even when u r a director. Whether you go to fight on border u hv fear of death or whether u r a ceo u hv fear of quarterly loss.
You are overthinking this. You also seem to have borderline OCD.

You cope by developing skills and practice.
Leetcode skills? Job skills? What skills
