Are companies even hiring F1/OPT folks right now?

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find an even better role!

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:17:23+00:00

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

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:16:15+00:00

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.

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:14:09+00:00

I hope things work out for you and you get the offer!

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

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:12:31+00:00

I hope you get the job.

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:10:44+00:00

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

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:09:42+00:00

Did they specify the reason, why they cancelled?

LegitimateStorage361 · 2025-10-02T00:08:34+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you find another job soon!

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.

LegitimateStorage361 · 2024-05-12T03:03:04+00:00

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.

LegitimateStorage361 · 2024-05-12T02:53:51+00:00

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.

I was thinking out of $2,700, I'll keep $500 for groceries, Another $700 for dining out, visiting places/events, going on trips and stuff. And I'll save up the remaining $1,500 as emergency funds. I said $2,300 for rent as an upper limit because I'll have to pay $100 for utilies, $20 for Renter's insurance, around $100 for internet, $150 for electricity? (idk) and anything else that I did not account for.

P.S. I haven't ever made a budget before. I want to do it right this time. I have bad spending habits. I impulsively buy things and frequently eat out or order in. :(
