I received a campus offer in 2008, but then the recession hit. Since it was with a large company, I graduated in 2009 and was supposed to join afterward. However, just a few weeks before my start date, they postponed it indefinitely. I found myself back at square one and it took more than six months to land a job at a mid-sized company with a lower salary. Eventually, things worked out. So, don’t lose hope—just keep trying. Best of luck!

The USCIS processing time is an issue here. It can require six months to a year. However, using premium processing, an H1B transfer can happen in 15 days.

One of the H1B visa requirements is a "employee-employer relationship," which means that a) someone has the authority to hire or fire you from your company, and b) the company should continue if you are fired (i.e. not go bankrupt, and other individuals can fill your function).

Does this imply that the investment firm will have greater power over the company than an immigrant founder?

Question for the folks working in companies like Netflix, NVIDIA, and Adobe with unlimited PTO: How many vacation days do you take per year on average?

I did the same thing in the beginning of the year. Saves so much time and I have been more consistent with my workouts because of this.

What about competition? What prevents multiple copycat companies from propping up if a one-person startup grows to a billion dollar valuation?
