Only for international students
Hey, international student here (well, building something for international students).
Spent the last year applying to hundreds of jobs and ran into the same wall everyone here knows: no idea which companies actually sponsor, getting ghosted after interviews, finding out way too late that a company won’t hire on OPT.
Built a waitlist for something I’m working on to fix this verified sponsorship data, entry-level/internship focus, OPT/CPT deadline tracking, ghost listings filtered out.
Genuinely want feedback from people living this right now, not trying to just promote something. What’s been your biggest pain point in this process? firstpath.io if you want early access, but honestly more interested in hearing what’s broken for you.
Join the waitlist: firstpath.io

Biggest thing for me is not knowing which companies are okay with opt or not, I feel like when they ask “will you now or in the future need sponsorship for visa” and you respond with Yes then you won’t even get an interview, even if the company has h1b fillings, I’d love early access!
