In general, I think it’s worth being transparent about the H1B need from the get-go. Will save you and the company time. Also, what companies are you targeting? I’ve just gone through rounds with several of the FANGS and all were willing to sponsor

Why do you need H1B, you can get TN which is much more hassle free

Yeah, TN doesn’t cover any kind of product/strategy job - had my offer rescinded before because company couldn’t sponsor my TN

Ya I was upfront told them in first screening call but maybe they just didn’t realize impact on timeline... maybe it was one off..

Am on TN but that doesn’t cover non consulting roles?... looking into internal strategy or pm for tech

I thought PM was Computer Systems Analyst?

For TN you just go with the title that matches your degree. I do strategy and operations but my TN Visa is under "Mathematician" because my degree was in math.

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer.
