As an F1 student, securing a job can be extremely challenging. While consultancy opportunities are available, full-time positions are difficult to obtain, often requiring a wait of 6 months to a year without employment. Consultancy job projects are typically 6 month to 1 year duration not the full time positions.than you have to repeat the cycle.Even after landing a job, if your skills don’t meet expectations, there’s a high risk of losing the position within the first month—potentially leading to another long period of unemployment.
The pay typically starts at around $25/hour after taxes. Despite these tough conditions, many F1 students pursue this path out of necessity, driven by the hope of eventually obtaining a green card and building a stable future in the U.S. If you’re prepared to face these challenges, then continuing may be a viable option.
