Hey fishes,
I am now a fresh graduate without STEM extension. Should I start my career with a non-profit visa instead of the one year OPT?
I'm thinking about get a STEM master (day 1 CPT) or phd later where I could apply for a two-year extension after graduation.
Anyone have any idea what are the possible pros and cons?

I’m not sure what you mean about a non-profit visa. What is your status now if you don’t have OPT?

cap-exempt H1B. I'm now in the process applying for 1 yr OPT.

Do you mean a cap-exempt H1B?

You should check with your DSO to see if they’ll authorize OPT after you have held H1B status and if there is a certain time limit for them to do so after you graduate
