Hi there — there are several companies out there that are looking for people with your skillset no matter your residency status. What resources are you currently using to look for jobs? That can help us know how to navigate your search.

Hey, I have been there. It is more challenging to get a job that requires sponsorship. However, there are plenty of technical companies that hire students like you. I would suggest connecting with university alumni with similar job profiles. That can give you a list of companies that hire students on OPT visa as well as a chance at referral. Also, I highly recommend university job fairs and women in tech conferences eg. Grace Hopper, Women In Tech etc. The hiring process has greater callback rate than online applications and sometimes has lesser interview rounds. Good luck
