• The application reviews one role at a time; choose your preferred position.

Questions still to resolve

• Graduation requirements are recorded as years, seasons or descriptive wording rather than exact dates. Confirm your timeline with recruiting.
• E-Verify enrollment has not been matched to the hiring legal entity. Verify separately if relevant to STEM OPT.
• Compare your degree and enrollment status with the official requirements.
• No fixed deadline was confirmed; check the official posting before applying.

Graduation dates are compared only where exact bounds are stated. We do not infer CPT/OPT eligibility, work permission or H-1B timing from your academic year.

03 · Separate employer check

E-Verify

Hiring legal entity not independently confirmed

No official E-Verify legal-employer match was established. Sponsorship support is separate from E-Verify enrollment.

E-Verify participation is separate from H-1B sponsorship and the other STEM OPT requirements. An employer statement or an unmatched name is not a completed legal-employer verification.

04 · Prepare with a purpose

What to prepare and why

Why prepare: an entry-level quantitative route explicitly stating sponsorship availability. Practice probability, decision-making under uncertainty and Python/C++ fundamentals; analyze a dataset and explain a trading or risk hypothesis without overstating backtest results.
