Hey all I am on STEM OPT, and planning to switch.

I am thinking of taking a 1 week vacation after my last day at Amazon and then join the new company.

Would there be any visa implications or future job implications?

    You can have 60 days of unemployment in your STEM OPT.

    I would look into the health insurance though, check if you are still covered during this week. If not covered, I would suggest take that 1 week as PTO so you are still employed and also have health insurance coverage.

    Old and new TC?

    Took a 10 day break before joining Amazon. You'll just accrue those as a part of your unemployment days, but that's about it. Just make sure to submit your final evaluation in your i983 and update your school portal about employment status.

    As far as i know there would not be any visa implications. Just let your university ISO (Student center ) about new job start date.

    Nope, they will just count towards your unemployment days.
