I only have Amazon F2F in queue for now. A couple of others came to a halt after second round, because hiring or his senior manager is not okay with visa while the recruiter says they hire people on visa. No respect for candidate's wasted hours. Crazy stuff!!
Are you asking who turned me down after a considerable interviewing?
Yes
One is a manufacturing company and the other internet company. They are not huge and don't have a lot of people in their corporate offices. May be 200-250 is their headcount.
It might be salary considerations since H1Bs have preset ranges. We paid our H1B engineers and designers more than the American ones. - otherwise it could be a language or an accent issue. They might say it’s a visa issue to cover for something else.
It's never gone that far. Received multiple phone screens. Initially, revealed visa thing early in the conversation to save my time. Changed my strategy later, brought up visa towards the end of the call after that impressive talk felt creating an impact (big word here?). Either ways didn't work. And when it did a couple of times, it was nothing but wasted man hours. Prepping and driving to their place. Am an MBA grad with some great GMAT and TOEFL scores. No accent/communication issues ever. Occasionally have Director and VP of IT/Business at work as my audience for presentations.
Opendoor. PM me for referral
Thanks. Will check that out once I am back from work.
I am pro immigration and I still don’t understand why we need to import non engineering jobs like product managers. Please don’t give example of sunder Pichai or Microsoft CEO. Maybe in 90s / 2000s we may have shortage of Product managers but I don’t think we need to import non engineering positions.
True that
I'm a foreign pm and I agree
What kind of companies are these? Large corporations? How many employees roughly in these companies?
