I had to resign from my current job because of some issues related to how the organization was run(I can elaborate if you want). It wasn't a decision I wanted but after the incident I didn't feel like I could work there anymore. I am looking for entry level Software engineer/Software developer jobs.

Currently on OPT, trying to move to STEM OPT(MS Information Systems). I have between 30-90 days left in the US to find an employer that will sponsor in the future or maybe just e-verified. I am currently grinding leetcode hardcore. Currently comfortable with Sorting & Searching, Recursion, Linked Lists, Graphs & Tree Problems. Will be spending more time on DP and String problems over the next few days.

For the job, I'm open to working long hours and the weekend and for pay, anything that covers rent. My skills are:

Languages: Java
Frameworks: Spring Boot, Spring MVC.
Databases/ORMs: MySQL, JDBC Template, Spring Data Rest.
Technology: RESTful Webservices.
Tools: Netbeans, Intellij, Visual Studio, Github, Maven.
Test Tools: JUnit.
Familiar with: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, C++, C, Python, Javascript, SQL, Typescript.

Current Location: New York City. I would love to get a job here but I am willing to relocate.

So yeah if you know anyone hiring including staffing agencies I would be grateful.

Update: Blind Tax:
YOE <1(Basically new grad at this point)
TC from former employer: $52,780

  • Like google said create LinkedIn and update open to work. Amazon, Microsoft tend to hire recent grads. Apply to JPMC, they don’t pay a lot so they will have hard time finding candidates. Witch companies will definitely hire(join them for time being if you get offer). Apply to the jobs in places like Omaha, etc because it’s hard for them to find talent. Apply to Resmed and their interview will be completed in 10 days after you apply.

    • If you update your YOE, someone might point in the right direction you never know. The more info you give the more help you may get.

    Do you have a linked in profile? If not create one and put that you are open to work. Recruiters will come find you. Good luck.

      Thank you, I just checked my LinkedIn and it definitely needs more work. Fingers crossed I get some people reach out. I think I'll eventually reach out to recruiters

      Thank you I will look into Amazon. I've been applying to companies through their websites but got nothing back. I don't have any referrals there so I will either reach out to a recruiter or simply apply via the website.
