Non-Stem Internationals in IB
Sort of serious question here guys. I’m an incoming 2025 summer analyst at a good global firm in NYC. I’m not a stem major so I don’t get the 3 years of CPT. I have the 1 year OPT. What’s generally the plan for students in my position? Would love to hear from others who know how to navigate extension of career or have been in this position before.
I’m definitely not the only one in such a position. Not necessarily worried but would love to hear what you guys have to say.

Pardon my ignorance.
Did you do that straight out of undergrad or after working as an analyst for during your OPT?

If your firm does have a good solid presence like you mentioned, I’ve seen instances where people get sent to another office in Europe / SE Asia for a couple years and then can transfer back to the US on an L1 visa. Again, would be dependent on availabilities in other locations but it does provide you with a bit of a plan B
