Hey Blind Community, I joined this app 3 years ago and I've always seen this platform as a place of immense value, not just for insights but for the genuine help it provides in tough times. And now, I'm the one in a tough spot, honestly feeling lost and have not been able to to sleep for the past 3 days With just one month left until I graduate, I'm urgently seeking employment. Tbh, I wasn’t in this position before because I'm on the verge of completing my graduate degree and graduating top of my class while also having completed 5 internships (3 technical, 2 in product management), and was all set to return to my former employer - a big pharma company. (its pretty well known but I don’t want to dox myself here) I spent my last 2 months in interviews with the same company and then even finished salary negotiations, met my new manager and had even the set the start date. However, last week, in an unexpected email I was told that HR is going to rescind the offer. The reason? My international status. I was like wtf you guys have got to be kidding me and you have known that for 1.5 YEARS. I emailed them back about how I was ranked in the top 5% of their interns and my internal ratings but I got some generic response back about their policy on not being able to sponsor etc. Anyways I’m desperately looking for any referrals right now and any opportunities within your organizations that match my skills and experience would be super grateful. My grad degree is in Biomedical Engineering and here’s some background on my previous experience: (I’m not sharing my exact resume and quantifying the details inside because it would be really easy to find me if I do so. Please note I have about about 4 YOE but I’m only sharing specific experiences as well only listing some of the things I’ve done at each of these companies) 1)Internship 1 – Mid size company (3000 employees) – Operations and Manufacturing Role Made changes in manufacturing line, did some CAD work and 3D Printing. Worked with physicians and marketing to build and test a new med device they were launching and did some FDA work (worked on a 510k) 2) Internship 2 – Well known private startup – Clinical RnD Role Built and tested very specific type of bio sensor (similar to glucose monitors ABBOTT makes). Ran Engineering studies and testing for testing different iterations, presented to Congress and US Navy. 3) Internship 3 and 4 – Mid Size Company – PM Intern Did competitor analysis, launched a real time chat feature in the web app, gathered feedback from existing users, optimized user onboarding and refined product strategy 4)Internship 5 – Large – Big Pharma Company - Clincal Rnd Role Developed and designed test methods, worked with physicians, marketing and engineering team on a new robotic med device which would go inside the body , gathered data from pre clinical testing , ran different trials and eng studies. Been given EE ratings at most places looking for roles which require 1-4 YOE. Should qualify for most Manufacturing , Quality, Clinical Research and Development, Operations, Entry level Product manager, program manager roles #referral #intuitivesurgical #apple #swe #engineering #software #referral #hiring #jobhunt #addepar #adobe #affirm #airbnb #airtable #akasa #akunacapital #Alphonso #alteryx #amazon #anaplan #Anduril #Ansatz #AppDynamics #apple #AppliedIntuition #applovin #Arcesium #ArgoAI #arm #ArthurAI #asana #atlassian #audible #aurora #Auth #autodesk #aviatrix #Aviso #Bain #benchling #Bigbasket #binance #Blackbuck #blackrock #blend #bloomberg #Bloomreach #boeing #bolt #Booz #box #braid #braze #brex #Broadcom #BrowserStack #bumble #bytedance #calendy #Carta #chegg #chime #cisco #citadel #citrix #cloudera #cloudflare #cockroachlab #cockroachlabs #Cocoon #coda #Codenaton #Cohesity #coinbase #compass #confluent #coursera #CRED #crowdstrike #cruise #CureFit #databricks #datadog #deliveryHero #deloitte #DEShaw #digitalocean #Directi #discord #disney #docusign #doordash #Dream #dremio #dropbox #Dunzo #duolingo #ebay #elastic #engineering #epicgames #etsy #expedia #faang #FAANGMULA #facebook #figma #fireeye #FiveRings #fiveringscapital #flexport #flipkart #flocksafety #freshworks #github #gitlab #glassdoor #Gojek #goldmansachs #google #Grab #grammarly #groupon #grubhub #gusto #harness #hashicorp #Hasura #hbo #headspace #HealthifyMe #hiring #hotstar #houzz #hrt #hubspot #hudsonrivertrading #hulu #imc #Indeed #Inmobi #instabase #instacart #intel #intuit #iterable #janestreet #janestreetcapital #Jio #jobhunt #JUMP #jumptrading #Juniper #justworks #khanacademy #kraken #lattice #lendingclub #lime #linkedin #lockheedmartin #lyft #maga #Makemytrip #McKinsey #MentorGraphics #meta #microsoft #miro #mongodb #morganstanley #MotorQ #mozilla #mux #MyGate #NASA #navi #NetApp #netflix #nextdoor #niantic #noom #northropgrumman #Notion #nuro #nutanix #nvidia #oci #okta #Ola #opendoor #optiver #oracle #outreach #Oyo #palantir #PaloAltoNetworks #pandora #patreon #paypal #Paytm #peloton #Persona #pinterest #Pipe #plaid #postman #postscript #Practo #purestorage #Quadeye #qualcomm #qualtrics #Qubole #Quill #quora #Radix #Ramp #Razorpay #reddit #redfin #redhat #referral #ripple #Rippling #rivian #rivianautomotive #robinhood #roblox #roku #rubrik #salesforce #samsara #samsung #SanDisk #ScaleAI #servicenow #Sharechat #shopify #slack #snap #snapchat #snowflake #sofi #software #sonos #sourcegraph #spacex #splunk #spotify #Sprinklr #square #squarespace #Stackoverflow #stripe #Stytch #Sumologic #swe #Swiggy #tableau #target #tech #Tekion #teradata #tesla #texasinstruments #tiktok #tinder #tmobile #toast #TowerResearch #Transcend #Transform #Truecaller #turo #twilio #twitch #twitter #twosigma #uber #Udaan #udemy #uipath #Unacademy #unity #Upgrad #upstart #verizon #verkada #virtufinancial #Visa #Vizury #vmware #walmart #warnerbros #Watershed #wayfair #waymo #wework #Whatfix #Wissen #workday #workiva #WorldQuanty #yelp #yugabytedb #zapier #zendesk #zeta #zetaglobal #zillow #ziprecruiter #Zolve #Zomato #zoom #referral #capitalone #kroger #heb #thegodfather #irishmob #scarface #literallyanydruglordthatneedsaDev #referral
Sorry about your situation. I would recommend searching for specific job roles at companies you’re interested in, and then making a post like “Can someone refer me to position X at company Y?”
Nah, that usually does not work, or has not worked for me in the past unfortunately.
