Hi all,
Does anyone have advice/ leads on what companies sponsor H1B? I just graduated with my MS in Data Science, have 3 years of UX/ PM experience, a BFA in Product Development, and a BA in Journalism. I have been looking since August and so far no offers/ companies ending the interview once they find out I need sponsorship down the line. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. What companies/ jobs should I apply to with my background?

Companies that are probably more willing to sponsor have worse employee reviews which results in fewer qualified applicants, I would go look for companies that have had job openings, for what you are looking for, for a long time and that their employee reviews aren’t fantastic. Companies that have a lot of qualified applicants aren’t going to choose to sponsor an H1B when there is no guarantee of getting one, there is a gap between when you file for one and when you can work (unless you are cpt/opt), and there is a time limit, then if they intend to keep you long term they have to go through a perm process, and finally especially if they already have a plethora of qualified candidates. My advice is to do as I said above and go find jobs that people don’t want and where companies are desperate, get them to sponsor and then either transfer it, which is much easier but still difficult to find companies willing to do it, and try to get them to expedite your perm process. I know that doesn’t exactly answer your question but hopefully it can point you in the right direction.
