Google (Dec '26 FT) vs fall snowflake intern → May '27 grad recruiting

[strange bobcat]

B to maximize H1B success

[dim fern]

Bro take google, no guarantee you get ro from the other spots. You’re set, pushing it back is just gambling

[strange bobcat]

H1b lottery odds scales the more semesters you do

Base salary also affects it

[urban crown]

but im reducing my long term stay

[urban crown]

what about prestige tho, wouldnt it be better to start from a stronger company easier to go to a unicorn/startup than vice versa?

[strange bobcat]

Your primary goal should be staying in the US

Tbh

Everything else is secondary

At least that’s what I got from your write up

Also snowflake is a great name

I’m not fully sure how the system works

But from what I gathered even having a full time offer doesn’t guarantee you to stay

If it did i’d say google

[urban crown]

yeah u need h1b

which is a lottery system now based on ur base

[pulsar plank]

Just take ng lmfao

[hollow glen]

Ur getting meta alr ur chilling

Go ft

[pulsar plank]

Ur losing so money by not taking FT

[hollow glen]

I’m not knowledgeable about h1b dynamics here tho

[strange bobcat]

Way I understand it is that his probability of getting full time opportunity to stay in the US is lower if he goes FT early

Which is why I recommended to do snowflake

But if not the case then yea I agree

[pulsar plank]

isn’t snow RO chopped

[strange bobcat]

Yea but with Meta + Snowflake dude will be completely fine for NG recruiting

And the extra time in school enables him with higher lottery odds for H1B based on his post + QD roles will sponsor

[zealous sphinx]

Might be a separate topic, but how does graduating early make a difference with H-1B lottery attempts? Is it solely based on how many semesters of college you attended?

Also, don’t some of these companies do day 1 perm?

[gray ingot]

H1b salary levels dont include stocks?

If its only base then try for quant next year to get highest level

[pulsar plank]

cope

[strange bobcat]

^^^

[gray ingot]

Is there any info on salary levels brackets?

Maybe he can nego google to bump base to level 4

[dapper latch]

can you push Google to May start date so you can get 4 turns to do H1b? Also where is Google loc, if it’s CA and your wage level is 1 then yes please do Path B

[urban crown]

U get to do 4 attempts graduating may 27 instead of 3 for december 26

[urban crown]

No, and for wage let me see

I think ill msotly be level 2 @dapper latch

[urban crown]

What was the msg that guy wrote?

[urban crown]

My team i heard its quite good

[urban crown]

Im losing money by not negotiating and recruiting more offers for comp negotiation also right?

If i do dec
