I have an offer from FANG and am interviewing at a couple of other companies. I know that F1 OPT visa holders are allowed to be unemployed upto 90 days after the start date on their EAD card. I am already unemployed for close to 65 days. Is it wise to keep interviewing at other companies or just join this company. Will I face any serious consequences if I have only few days of allowed unemployment like say 5-10 days. TC: 0 ( new grad) offered TC ~170k
Join asap. You don’t know how much time they will take to process paperwork. Its holiday season!
Join and take another job if your like it, but Join ASAP. Don't cross 90 days and be in Violation of Status
Agree with this guy
90 days means between (start date of opt and fist day of work) or (start date of opt and the day of signing)?
If you pass 90 day, in the future your GC application could be instantly denied just for this reason alone.
I will make sure I dont pass the 90 day but what are the risks having only a few days of unemployment left?
TC already handsome enough to join, any reasoning behind not joining?
Join and continue interviewing. Chances are their offers won’t be worth it to quit as all new grad tc is standardized
The others are FAANG too. So definitely worth waiting and negotiating,
