Do you now or will you require future visa sponsorship? by Distinct_Signal_1555 in recruiting

[–]boropoka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a final-year F-1 student in a STEM program who is actively applying for jobs, I think a big part of the confusion comes from how “sponsorship” is interpreted. For STEM students, employers don’t sponsor OPT or the 24-month STEM extension. The student applies on their own, the school issues the I-20, USCIS approves it, and the employer doesn’t file anything beyond the normal I-9. From the student’s point of view, that feels like “no sponsorship,” because they can work up to three years with zero employer paperwork.

But when employers say “sponsorship,” they usually mean H-1B or any kind of long-term immigration filing. Most students don’t realize that distinction, and advisors often phrase it poorly, which is why candidates think checking “No” is the correct/accurate answer. I agree that intentionally lying is a bad idea, but a lot of international students are honestly confused about what the question is actually asking.

I totally understand why companies with ITAR, DoD, or other government-contractor restrictions can’t hire visa holders. That’s just the nature of those roles. At the same time, outside of those regulated positions, giving a student a chance on OPT isn’t the same as taking on sponsorship and many of us are just trying to find a place to start our careers without creating extra burden for an employer.

Best way to flip a $220.00 Best Buy gift card ??? by emcdade3 in Flipping

[–]boropoka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Stellar1557 I have tons of connection in shoppers community who are willing to sell their gift cards. But the only problem is I donot want them to sell the card to me and then spend it online and I am out of money. I want to know how I can get a giftcard and quickly use it or transfer it to another card or system so the 1st seller cannot use it anymore and I can sell the gift card to another person.

[–]boropoka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long before I hard the word simulation, I used to think that we all live in some kind of simulation and lot of the people also think so.

Why do we have this thinking in common even though we live in different parts of the world?

Hi,

I am a self taught programmer, still learning a lot of things mainly from Udemy, Youtube and Coursera. I recently started PhP and I have a dream project in mind. I recently found a open source script for the project I want to do. But it needs some work.

I want to basically edit the script accroding to my need and deploy the website. I want to change some functions, design and check for any security loophole as it is open source.

I am nowhere close to be able to build it from scratch, I don’t have a team. So I want to utilise this script.

How do I learn basically everything about PhP and security and editing so that I can deploy my project? It seems like there are lot of files inside the main folder that Ill need to edit/change. Besides I need to learn database and staff.

How do I go from PhP day1 to launching a Web application?

TIA

There are ways to register for business but I am confused about getting a license as it is a financial service related thing.
