A 29-year-old Indian professional working in US has described the stress of repeated H-1B lottery failures as a “permanent subscription”, in a viral Reddit post cited by the American Bazaar.
The user said he moved to US for a master’s degree during what he called “one of the worst job markets ever”. He completed his course in around 1.5 years, supported himself through on-campus work, and later secured a full-time role at a top bank while working under Optional Practical Training (OPT).
