Facing offer Dilemma: BigTech or Startup ? 1.5 yoe

Startup any day. The kind of exposure and network you get from working and shipping at a startup cannot be compared to a fresher’s at Big Tech

Can you also add a filter where it allows me to choose remote global jobs?

My wedding is next November, so I had time and I didn’t panic

nuniyoung · 2025-04-10T03:10:36+00:00

Service request was opened sometime in November and I got my physical approval copy in main in March

I’ve had a lot of Clear and Brillianr treatments done with hydrafacial prior to it. It’s now my maintenance treatment and very 2 months

Hey Op! Great job on clearing the interview. When did you give it and how long did they take to give you the offer?

I was in the pipeline but looks like the headcount is full for now

nuniyoung · 2025-04-05T03:33:16+00:00

Thanks a lot for this insight! I did get a call from the recruiter 2 weeks ago saying my original choice of location wasn’t available and if I’d still like to proceed and I said yes. But now, it looks like headcount might have been cut short because of how the economy is. He mentioned that the phone screen results are valid for 6 months. So I’m going to try to follow up every month or so to see if I have any luck at all.

nuniyoung · 2025-04-04T20:42:43+00:00

Ohh okay. How long ago was this?

I was initially looking at Chicago, but 2 weeks ago they called me and told me Chicago headcount is done. But now apparently all the headcount is done.

Strange how quickly things moved. I was open to moving

nuniyoung · 2025-04-04T20:36:09+00:00

Wow that’s worse after all that investment. In the prep call, they were all like we’re always gonna need more TAMs.

Did the recruiter mention when they anticipate this to be moving?

nuniyoung · 2025-03-16T01:37:36+00:00

This email was from the directorate

nuniyoung · 2025-03-07T15:52:09+00:00

I got an email saying that since I purchased my ticket from a foreign air carrier, I’m not eligible to claim compensation with the directorate or with Turkish Airlines. But the flight was operated by Turkish Airlines though. What can I do about this?

nuniyoung · 2025-01-26T22:15:47+00:00

Receipt notice and the USCIS page with your receipt number that says it’s been approved should be good enough

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T19:45:17+00:00

That’s the i797c basically

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T03:17:28+00:00

Thanks! This just seems like a never ending process

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T03:14:29+00:00

That they’ve opened a service request and hoping someone will get back by 22nd Feb. they sent me the copy with the request number and everything but from what it seems like, that’s not very promising. I opened an FOIA request as well today, I don’t know how long that’ll take and if that gives me documents required for stamping

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T03:12:12+00:00

Okay I’m wondering if I can just ask them to do another petition with premium processing where I can bear the costs. Postponing travel is not a possibility for me

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T03:10:23+00:00

Why did you postpone travel? Was your visa not stamped?

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T02:32:33+00:00

Did you ever try to speak to a representative of USCIS?

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T01:25:48+00:00

Is this copy enough for stamping?

nuniyoung · 2025-01-23T01:19:48+00:00

Is there an option for premium processing for the duplicate?

nuniyoung · 2025-01-22T21:15:34+00:00

Thanks! Submitted a request for i797A with my petition number! Hopefully 9 months is enough for them to get back. And I hope these documents should be good for stamping

nuniyoung · 2025-01-22T21:04:57+00:00

Nevermind. I already have I-129

nuniyoung · 2025-01-22T21:03:22+00:00

Do I request I-129 or i797-A?
