Hi All,
I am having an extremely difficult time with recruitment due to the fact that I am an international student. I have received several first rounds only to have them be rescinded after they realize I will need sponsorship.
Does anyone have any advice on navigating this or possibly know which companies would sponsor?
Thanks in advance!

It's a numbers game, you need to apply to 10x more firms than a domestic student. Focus on smaller shops.
What market are you in? Will be much easier if a major metro like NYC or LA.
ATL, but open to everywhere.
Assuming you've been applying nationwide in that case? How many applications have you sent out this year? How's your resume?
If all those are good then you just need to network (alum + cold call). I think Masters level is easier to land internship as well.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully we will go back to a more inviting sponsorship environment once orange hair is out of the whitehouse. I can confirm through my friends from grad school, that it is easier to get sponsored with a masters degree. Something to do with proving you have a unique skillset that can't be replaced by American citizens when you have a masters degree. Those firms rescinded, likely not because you're not qualified nor because they don't have 20-30k to pay the immigration attorneys, but because it's very difficult to get through the process as a junior analyst in RE. May be in tech and such, it's easier to make that claim since there aren't too many STEM american graduates...Hang in there, get your numbers/applications up and good luck!
This is a good point. The OPT for STEM candidates should be a few years more than Non-STEM.
