I've received 2 offers to FAANG companies this year as Sr Product Mgr, got along brilliantly with the teams, but ultimately neither were willing to help process my visa in this climate. I know folks have it more rough, but feeling pretty bummed out.

I thought usually faang companies are on top of their game for visa sponsorships and pretty much apply for a gc soon once you start.
Which faang is it if you don’t mind sharing ?

I m surprised too as they are the only hope in this climate. Pls tell the name

If it helps, I’m in the other boat, have a GC, but can’t get FAANG to like me. Have taken a massive hit on my general confidence 🙃

Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
