大家好，我申请的是EB3，在准备perm的时候就准备好了介绍信，出生证明等资料。现
在perm已经下来了，准备申请140，可是公司那边又慢下来了。问问大家，一般准备140
要多长时间啊？都有什么工作啊？难吗？
谢谢

I’m pursuing my Ph.D at a top 20 Env. Eng. program and expect to graduate
early next year. Started my job-hunting half a year ago and finally got a
satisfying job offer from a top consulting firm recently and just took it after one
round negotiation of the compensation. 有些体会愿和大家分享。
1. The starting pay of env. eng. graduates (both Masters and Ph.Ds) is
usually lower than many other engineering disciplines. I think this is
mainly because that env. eng. is a business to spend money (to clean the

how do you know your perm is approved?
The lawyer said that they will start the I140 petition, but they didnot let
me know the status of PERM:(

Weston solutions is a good one too. They pay PhD with a fair price.
CH2M HILL claims not to sponsor H1b for almost all the positions posted on
its website. I am wondering how you negotiated regarding this.

H1B won't be an issue if they really want you.

Thanks for the show of your job hunting experience.
It seems that it is a rumor that this company doesn't sponsor H1B. For a
long time, when I saw the good positions matching my experience, I just
tossed away the job announcement.
I would appreciate if you have more negotiating experience on H1B posted
here.

It even sponsored H1B for an Indian masters student graudated from my group
early this year.
It seems that Shaw is more reluctant to sponsor H1B, at least they didn't
further consider me (and a few others whom I know) due to this reason (or at
least partially).

恭喜lz
only one point want to correct for MS candidates in job hunting:
MS starting position should also be level 2, level 1 is for under, and most
of the level 1 will upgrade to level 2 in 1 year. So, remember to negotiate if
you were not given level 2

谢谢分享，里面的很多经验都很有用。我想请问如何能够面试的时候更好地突出PhD的
优势，因为好多看到的工作对学历的要求都是对本科或者硕士设计的。如何才能有效地
避免HR的人觉得overqualified呢？谢谢

It may be more difficult for Ph.Ds to get (phone) interview opportunities.
But once you pass the Resume screening and got interview chance to elaborate
your qualifications, that's your show time. Figure out your selling points,
e.g., comprehensive training, experience in handling complex projects,
outstanding research achievements which have practical value, etc.
Regarding resume, to avoid being rejected by HR quickly, try to stress the
importance and value of your dissertation research and its
