Hey everyone,
Since full-time jobs with sponsorship are so hard to get, I’ve been wondering if contract or temp positions might be a better way in. I know they don’t always lead to sponsorship, but at this point, getting any experience in the U.S. job market seems better than nothing.
Has anyone gone this route? Do companies ever convert contractors to full-time hires with sponsorship, or is it usually a dead end? Also, how does it even work with OPT/CPT—do short-term jobs cause any issues with status?
Would love to hear if anyone has tried this and what your experience was like!
