PSA: If anyone is on OPT with an approved H1B consular processing petition (e.g. waiting for appointments to open up), check with your university that USCIS didn’t change your status to H1B by mistake.

It’s easily fixed, but until then you won’t be able to get a new I20.

No, it doesn’t make any sense, and yes according to my uni it’s a “common mistake in F1 records”. Apparently triggered most commonly if you travel while still on F1 status (which is the whole point of consular processing).

Was interviewed last year around October by google for a role at L5 level. Could not reach hiring committee level. In 2017 I was interviewed and could reach hiring committee but could not move any further and could not get selected.

How long one has to wait before getting interview from google after not getting selected during an interview process? What is the best way to get internal referrals?

I’m job hunting and having fairly decent success so far. Made it to the final round for two jobs but lost both.

Not finding great options via Google and looking specifically for ones who are good with creatives.

As a junior associate at a boutique firm, one of my biggest stressors is navigating how involved partners want me to be on their cases. Some expect me to just take initiative to get the ball rolling on filings with upcoming deadlines, and others don’t want me to touch anything until they explicitly ask me to. I offer to do things and communicate what I’m working on, but I worry that I’m overstepping by assuming it’s ok for me to work on stuff without first being asked. Advice? Can anyone relate?

Hi Professionals,

H1b petition approved. Pending stamping.
