The information provided doesn't directly address the hiring practices of Hellman & Friedman (H&F), Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), Advent International, Warburg Pincus, or Bain Capital regarding candidates on OPT. However, it's mentioned that Bain Capital generally does not hire on OPT.
For a more comprehensive understanding, it's advisable to directly contact the HR departments of H&F, CD&R, Advent, and Warburg Pincus or to network with current or former employees who might share their experiences or insights regarding the firm's stance on hiring non-US citizens on OPT. Networking and firsthand information are invaluable in these cases, as mentioned in the context of networking before recruiting to get firsthand information.
Remember, each firm's policy might change over time, and their willingness to sponsor H1B visas can depend on various factors, including the candidate's qualifications, the firm's current needs, and the overall political climate regarding work visas in the United States.
