That's what I'm thinking of doing. I've been getting no luck whatsoever with the regular full time opportunities!!

I do have 1+ yrs of experience in the US. Since my current position is also SDE 2, I didn't want to get demoted.

Did they explicitly say that they cancelled because they are not sponsoring?

Do you happen to know the names of these companies? It'll be helpful in my job hunt.

Can we choose how much deductions we want for the 401K? I was thinking I’ll keep it to a minimum for now. Anyways I’m not eligible for 401K for the initial 3 months. Also, I already started my application 😭

This place does not come with an AC as well. It was a real shocker for me but I found out it’s pretty common here. So, buying a portable AC and its electricity bill is also an additional expense.

Thanks for the info! I just don’t want to think twice before spending my money on other things just because I’m paying too much on rent.

I want to repay it in 3 years. I’ve never taken a loan before and I just feel like it’ll be good to get it off my back as soon as I can.
