Up until Jan 31st every few days one recruiter or the other would reach out to me on Linkedin sharing a job detail and requesting whether I am interested in discussing it further.

Stuck on H1 and Tired of saying no, I updated my Linkedin and mentioned h1b as my visa status up front on LinkedIn summary and job title and to my surprise not a single recruiter has reached out to me in last 18days...

Just a rant..

      Hmm, agreed. Thanks for the explanation. If I were to rate the immigration scenario in this country though, as an Indian citizen I would consider it very unsatisfactory. I am grateful for the opportunity here but the treatment we get here is more or less crap. I know you'd suggest getting the hell away from here and I will do that sooner or later.

      I was an h1b my self from an asian country. I understand the pain. Indians are valuable to the tech community. But just wanted to get the facts out. Wish the best of luck to you and your futurw

  • Don't mention your H1B status upfront. I just changed companies and didn't have a problem getting them to sponsor. It started with the recruiter reaching out to me on LinkedIn.

    Was it recruiters from top tier companies?
