Did it then ended up using another work authorization pathway specific to my nationality. Super painful to be commuting to the in person classes and doing those useless homework assignments. Not to mention it’s at least $20k of your money down the drain. Only do it as a final option if your firm has frozen London headcount and you can’t transfer
Thanks for the guidance. Do you mind if I PM message you - just want to ask a few things about the universities you considered and risks/etc.
Can you pm me? I am deciding between schools now, current OPT ends in July.
Honestly just go to the one closest to you geographically. Absolute pain in the ass to go there once a month especially while working full time in IB
