Hi Everyone,
I am in a tough situation since the past week and was unable to find my way out. As always decided to reach out to this annonymous yet effective community.
I am on my H1B and since the past one year have been applying for T/PgM jobs. I was able to get few interview calls and also had onsites at FB,Visa, Akamai, etc.
Though I spent sleepless nights and gave 100% of my efforts I wasn’t successful in getting any offer.
Each rejection comes as a massive blow and I am losing my confidence. I tried seeking feedback by approaching the HMs but everyone told I did great and it was a tough decision.
Honestly with no constructive feedback I am disappointed and couldnt decide if I should give up looking for PgM jobs and instead look for technical jobs such as Software Engineers, automation jobs, etc.
Its hard to give up but even harder to hold on and keep facing rejections.
Am i into the wrong direction? Is it really hard to get PgM jobs on H1b? Lots of such questions for which I am struggling to find answers.
Thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Want to see the real deal?

Ask for referrals and get interviews lined up everywhere you can snd have fun. You’ll make it.
That said I do not understand what your expertise is - you mentioned both PgM and software engineer jobs. I think you need to find out what you are really good at and what you bring to the table and then prep only for those interviews. Be ready with examples of what you have done that make you valuable in that role. Also, TPgM is a tech role, PgM may not be depending on the company. Software engineering is more deeply rooted in tech than TPgM - hands on. So, again define your space. Don't let the H1B bother you, be open to positions outside of the US too. Good luck!
