I’m on an F1 visa, been working at a consulting firm for just over two years now, with my STEM OPT visa ending this year. Given the current economic conditions, does it make sense to go to grad school full time and re-recruit in a year, or does it make more sense to do Day-1 CPT (provided no layoffs lmao)

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
