The female worker who went to new york as a programmer from Shenzhen assembly line recently lost her job. What's the matter?

Sun Ling, who once turned from an assembly line worker in Shenzhen to a programmer in new york, has less than a month left. If she can't find a job before mid-August, she will face the risk that her visa will expire.

From an assembly line worker with a monthly salary of 2,300 yuan to a well-paid software engineer in new york, Sun Ling's experience was once called a "typical counterattack". She was born in a small village in Loudi, Hunan. Her father, who was a carpenter, didn't support her to study, so she did farm work and studied hairdressing.

Persuaded by relatives, my father finally agreed that Sun Ling would finish high school, and then she became a female worker, working 15 or 16 hours a day on the assembly line in Shenzhen, with a monthly salary of 2,300 yuan.

After the college entrance examination, Sun Ling accidentally learned about the activities of software training institutions and buried the idea of learning computers in his heart. By working in KFC and doing telephone customer service, she accumulated tuition fees, learned relevant software and entered the IT industry as she wished.

After that, Sun Ling studied English in an English institution, studied undergraduate course in Shenzhen University, and took out1.2000 savings to study for a master's degree in computer science in the United States. In 20 18, she finally got the offer from EPAM Systems and worked as an outsourcing programmer in Google's office.

Job hunting and dilemma

On March 9th, Sun Ling applied to the company for 84 days sick leave to return home. At that time, the epidemic had spread around the world and the United States issued a travel ban. Before returning to China, she was warned by the company that she would be fired if she could not return to the United States before the holiday ended.

But she had to fly back to her hometown. Her father's illness was aggravated by cancer, and she had to come back to see her for the last time. Three days after Sun Ling came home, his father died. She can't even attend her father's funeral because she needs to be isolated in the county hotel 14 days.

Due to the death of his father, the reason of "taking care of the family" is not established. The company changed her family leave to personal leave, shortening it to more than 40 days, which upset her plan and she needed to return to the company before April 30. Sun Ling failed to return to new york on time due to aviation restrictions and international travel restrictions. She was fired.

Now that Sun Ling has graduated, she holds an OPT visa during her work (she holds a student visa of F 1 during her internship after graduation), and only has a grace period of 90 days after her work. She must find a new job before the end of July before she can stay in the United States.

The epidemic situation and related policies have brought shocks to the global workplace. Many people publish personal information and job hunting intentions, hoping to get new job opportunities. So Sun Ling also posted his own experience and help information on his personal homepage.

Sun Ling got an internship, which can help her extend the grace period to the end of September. The application process takes time, so she needs to find a job before mid-August. Now she is still in the process of several interviews, and it is still unknown whether she can get the offer. The remaining time is less than one month.
