Can I have two separate employers file for h1b and only join the one I get picked at?

I have offers from Amex and GS with similar Fixed component but the joining date of GS is two months after my last day in the current organization whereas Amex joining date is immediate. Should I wait for GS date or go ahead with Amex?

Is it normal in Amex that managers (leaders) are arrogant and doesn’t give a damn? Or is it just me with a sheer bad luck!

Hi all,

What companies/ jobs should I apply to with my background?

Hi,
I graduated last year and was working with my university until last month. I extended my STEM OPT with my university before July 5th (first year OPT expiry). I got a new opportunity right after submitting my application & I notified my change in employer (submitted updated I-20 & I-983).
Last Friday, I got another opportunity that is way better than the current one and I don't want to miss. My STEM OPT application is still under review. Would it be okay if I change my employer again. Thanks!
