I had a friend who got laid off last year with the exact situation. It was possible of my friend to CPT and then transfer the H1b to the new company. Just a note CPT will expire end is September.

Yes. Please google ‘CPT day 1 schools’ to get more info on how it works. Basically you will study and work full time simultaneously, it is demanding and not all employers support CPT. hope this helps.

It's not dry and dead out there. Started looking only 6 weeks back. Attended 3 interviews. Accepted one offer. Transfer approved in 3 business days. Joining Chase next week. Keep looking guys.
I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.

Desi fishes, how do you mask your rage / fury while dealing with toxic af managers during the last few weeks of your tenure?
I'm resisting the urge to tell them to choke on a ***k when they "coach" me on my attitude when they assigned me work right before the long weekend.
Weirdly enough, apart from anger I also feel gratitude because without their toxicity I couldn't have found the courage within me to switch to another Job.
Context: Visa transfer taking forever and I don't want to snap lol.
