Hello. I’m an international student currently interning at Grant Thornton’s (GT) in Houston Tx on a one year Optional Practical Training (OPT). I wonder if any of you know of accounting firms willing to sponsor candidates for an H1B because GT has a policy of only considering candidates with a STEM OPT which can span 3 years. Thank you.
