Myths you need to know about the OPT😮

By looking at the title of this post you might wonder why should I care about OPT from now on as that is something I should learn about only after graduating once I begin my job search. Well, that’s not how it works.😅 Irrespective of whichever intake you’re aiming at, this is some information that you should be aware of if you intend to stay back in the US and work there for a few years, especially if your course is a STEM course. Let’s begin with some trivia for beginners. Students with an F-1 visa who have finished studying for more than nine months are allowed to pursue practical training in their area of study. This time is known as Optional Practical Training (OPT). You may thus apply for OPT as you get closer to graduation, allowing you to work for any firm in the US. Students who hold a degree in the STEM fields—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics can extend their OPT by an additional 24 months, bringing their total post-graduation OPT period to 36 months i.e. 3 years. But if you think that after completing your course, you will just apply for a job at your convenience and work in the US for at least 3 years then here’s some information that you should be aware of.👇 Once you graduate, you have a period of 3 months or 90 days to find a job. However, there is a little catch here. Let’s call this catch number #1. By providing you these 90 days, the US government means that you can stay unemployed in the US for 90 days. This means that after graduating if you find a job on the 65th day, then you have 25 days balance left (90 - 65) of your ‘allowed to stay unemployed’ days bucket. 👉 So suppose you got a job in a company in the US and you work there for 1 year but then the work doesn’t excite you anymore so you are planning to switch jobs OR if you lose your job due to an unforeseen situation, then you will have only 25 days to find a new job as you have already utilised 65 days from the total 90 day ‘allowed to stay unemployed’ days bucket that the US govt gave you. But wait, let’s go back to the graduation part. Does the OPT period begin the very next day after you graduate? No, not really. You have a period of 60 days from your date of graduation to select a date to start your OPT. So for example, if you started your 2-year course in Aug 2022 and graduated on (say) 15th August 2024, then you have 60 days from 15th August to 15th October to select an OPT start date. This means you get a total of 60 days + 90 days of OPT i.e. 150 days ~ 5 months to find a job and/or stay unemployed. 5 months? Wow! Now you might wonder this way I can relax for the first 4 months, explore the US and begin my job in the 5th month. Sorted life, right?😎 Sorry to break your excitement but here comes catch number #2 😓 👉 Say you are someone who thinks like the above. You graduated on 15th Aug 2024 and decided to put your OPT start date as 15th Oct 2024 (i.e. last day of the initial 60-day window). Now imagine after applying to multiple companies, you finally got an interview call on 20th August. You completed all interview rounds and the company wants to hire you as soon as possible (say) by 30th August. However, that would not be possible as your legal OPT start date is 15th October. Thus, you cannot join the company before 15th October irrespective of how big the company is or how soon they need you. Then what is the ideal time to start the OPT date? Tricky, isn’t it? 😵 Short answer is - NETWORKING. As soon as your course begins, start networking with your seniors and college alumni via LinkedIn and/or college groups/programs, if any. Talk to them and understand what strategies they used to find a job and how they set their OPT start dates. In addition to this, at least 3 months before you graduate, connect with the Recruiters on Linkedin who frequently hire from your University or companies where you wish to work. Also, start exploring Career pages and figure out the openings. Aim at getting a few interview calls either before you graduate or in the initial 60-day window so that you will have a clear idea of the date of joining the job and then you can set your OPT start date accordingly. Lastly, if your course offers you internships, try your best to exceed your employer’s expectations thus improving your chances to get a full-time offer once you graduate.💪 Hope this information induces you to level up your networking game and strategise your job search. Good luck😄 Related topics: - https://yocket.com/blog/on-campus-networking-101 - https://yocket.com/feed/a-brief-difference-between-cpt-and-opt-713747 #opt #STEM #networking #jobs #USA

Spring or Fall 23 - Which is better?

Fall vs Spring has always been a debate for international students looking to pursue their higher studies. It’s the first constraint to be fixed for going to higher studies abroad. It really matters a lot in which intake we are joining. So, We have decided to provide a better understanding for every student by dealing with this question in depth. But before that, let’s understand what the Spring and the Fall semesters are: Every year, most international universities offer two entrance intakes for all classes and courses. The Fall semester runs from September to December, while the Spring semester runs from January to May. Universities accept students in two separate intakes rather than simply one, for two reasons. First, it is not easy to accommodate too many students in a single semester. Most universities receive thousands of applications every year, so obviously it will be quite a task to admit so many students at a time. Second, there could be various reasons for students not having the option to apply for the Fall season. It may be financial for some, can be health issues and can be for others. So universities accept students who couldn’t apply during the Fall season. Let’s discuss which semester you should apply for and why. 1. Universities The first and foremost thing one needs to check is whether the universities that they want to get into are taking the applications for spring intake too or not. This needs to be checked and verified through the university’s official website even before taking GRE and other tests. There are a significant number of colleges that don’t take students for spring semester. 2. Acceptance Rate Most students in India graduate from their bachelors during the first half of the month and directly apply for masters or PhD. Due to this, there has always been a tremendous amount of applications filled out during fall intake. Due to that, the class sizes are much larger for the Fall Intake when compared to the spring, which means you might have a better chance of getting admitted then. 3. Courses Universities often offer a larger selection of courses for Fall Intake candidates, so you'll have more options. It also implies that if you're searching for a unique subject that a small number of people are interested in, there's a good possibility it won't be offered during the Spring term. Some universities might roll out applications for spring intake but for limited courses only, So the candidate needs to confirm that too. 4. Summer Internship Opportunity In the USA, You are required to complete a minimum of 2 semesters of education to be allowed to do your internship. So, If you go for Fall, you can study one semester in Fall, One in Spring and can appear for summer internship whereas If you go for Spring intake, You need to wait for 3 semesters to get into your first internship. 5. Job Opportunities Job fairs and campus recruitment are most common in the second year, which means you'll have finished three semesters if you're in the fall semester and two semesters if you're in the spring semester. Those who have completed three semesters will have an edge over those who have completed two semesters since the extra semester will give you time to strengthen your profile and resume because you will have completed more projects, participated in more events, and so on. These minor bonuses will give you an edge over your classmates from the Spring semester. 6. Assistantships (TA/RA) Since the academic year begins with the Fall semester, students will have greater options to get on-campus employment and internships, particularly for research-based courses. Many professors start their research at the beginning of the academic year and do not hire new assistants in the middle. During the Fall semester, there will undoubtedly be additional possibilities to work as research assistants or teaching assistants. Adding to the above points, students need more time to settle down. If you feel you are not ready to start studies by September, then there is no point in hurrying your applications. One can gain a good experience and settle down financially and can then opt for higher studies. The definitive answer is straightforward: it is totally up to you. It all relies on what you require and your long-term objectives. First and foremost, when applying for a job, be clear about what you want from your college experience, since you are the greatest judge of your own career. It's not a bad idea to apply for any intake season. #masters #ms #spring23 #fall23
