My OPT is about to expire and I'm thinking of driving out of state to be with my family... Am I likely to run into any issues crossing state lines if I'm out of town when it expires?

Before sending courier package , EY Law team will ask for an address and you can give any address ( out of state as well) . It doesn’t matter as long as someone is present at home to
Collect your package . This is based on my multiple experiences with EY . I travel for the most part and hence I give my friends adrsss who is another state to
Receive these package and will touch base appropriately .. on the other hand , if you are moving ur base ( change in residence from one to other state), you need to
Inform law to
Amend the new location . If u will
Be there only 30 Calender days a year , then no need to file . But check once appropriately

Also since I'm expecting mail as my case is processed will I need to officially communicate a change of address or can I just forward my mail?

I don’t think there is any enforceability if you leave the state but you usually have to communicate any permanent/semi- permanent address changes. It’s probably less strict for OPT vs H1B holders.

I’d highly recommend communicating address change if you’re actually moving out of your current residence.

[they are going to courier your documentation vi FedEx or DHL that will need your signature so I’m not sure how flexible it will be to reroute anything].

Are you waiting on H1B from EY? Will you be going on a leave of absence until October or did they apply for you as Change of Status?

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.
