Jahnavi Shah applied for over 500 jobs before graduating from Cornell University, securing only five interviews without any full-time offers. As an international student on an F-1 visa, Shah faced the risk of deportation if unable to find employment. Aiming to live in San Francisco, Shah reached out to startup founders for opportunities and ultimately accepted a part-time product manager role at a startup, which helped comply with visa requirements while continuing the search for a full-time position.
Applying to over 500 jobs while on an F-1 visa, I faced the risk of deportation after graduation due to limited employment opportunities in the US for international students.
Upon graduation from Cornell, I secured a part-time contract role at a startup that allowed me to stay compliant with my visa, even though I was still seeking full-time employment.
