Entry-level US analyst roles at H-1B sponsors
For OPT and STEM OPT
OPT lets you work after graduation without sponsorship; STEM OPT extends it. Joining an employer that already sponsors H-1B gives you a better chance at the lottery route later.
An H-1B record is history: USCIS counted petitions the employer filed. It does not promise that a given role will sponsor, so read each posting too.
- Check that the role's duties fit your degree field, which STEM OPT requires.
- Ask about sponsorship once you have an interview, not in the application.
- Prefer employers with several years of approvals, not one.
