I got it on F1 OPT, works fine

Definitely worth it, especially if you travel a lot. The background check is a PITA, so better to apply 3/4 months before you have a trip to India coming up.

Hey everyone! I'm working on a research project for my doctorate and am in the test phase for a pretty simple interview about experiences with leaders. It's only four questions and takes about 20 minutes to talk through. Would anyone from outside the US be interested in participating? I can't give you a charge code, but I can give you my gratitude!

Appeared for KPMG interview 45 days back. HR is intentionally delaying offer release. Done with 2nd round of interview in last week of July. My Lwd is in oct first week. She took documents on 23rd Aug and did salary discussion a week later. And giving shitty excuses like waiting for approval. Approver is on leave bla bla. Has anyone faced such issue with this company? I never expected such a shitty and worst recruitment process from a BIG4

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1. They aren’t able to tell me when I would have to relocate for the remote role I applied for. 2.

The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?
