Actually, not easy. I tried that. I asked the front desk to call for an HR manager or recruiter. After 20 minutes of calling around, I had to leave. Cold calling does not work well for job searches.

Ask HN: Tesla Motors?

from the ask-hn dept.

I’m looking for a job at Tesla Motors, but have had no luck with multiple resume submissions. I’ve submitted resumes (i.e. applied for jobs with detailed cover letters) several times in 2008, 2009 and 2010.Last month, I noticed a very interesting (and relevant) position on their website, so I decided to use a different approach this time. I connected with 4 (yes, four) Tesla recruiters via...

For employment based green cards (EBx) the applicant may use his/her EAD to work in a job that is similar to the petitioners I140 case (this is known as AC21). I can't go from Design Engineer on my H1B to CEO on my EAD :(

I agree there is an advantage in moving back to India. However these things are never easy (wife, house, assets, etc).

Background: I am from India. I have a PhD in engineering (Berkeley) and a steady full time job at a tech company in the valley. I work on an H1B visa and my green card application has been filed (EB2, pending AOS, received EAD).Problem: I’ve been hacking at a startup concept for a few months now. We (my "co-founders" are also immigrants) are now at a point where we have a well functioning...
