What salary range should I ask for an OPT opportunity?
I am an international student in Computer Science in the Los Angeles area. As I am graduating for my Master's Degree, I am planning to start working with an OPT, Optional Practical Training (full-time).
While doing a job interview for a Full-stack (Javascript) position, I have been asked if I had an idea of how much I would like to be paid (per year in dollars). The answer is that I don't know what I can reasonably ask. If I was on a regular working visa, I would totally know, but I feel that with an OPT it's different
I have more than three years of experience in the particular domain, and worked in 3 companies before as a Fullstack too.
For people in my case that got hired through an OPT, I would love to get some feedback. For people that hired OPTs, how much would you be willing to offer for an OPT ?
I don't want to give information about the company and the job, I just want a simple range so I can have a better idea. Nothing too specific.
