小女今日终于拿到一个超小公司的email的offer. 唉, 俗话说啊, 没有offer的时候心里
着急, 有了offer又嫌人家是个鸡肋, 想要更好的.小女这周四有c1的面试,对c1倒不是很
有兴趣. 但是这个月末有很想去的大银行的on-site, 而且机会也满大. sigh...女人就是
贪心啊, 想问问各位有啥办法把这个鸡肋offer拖一拖. 现在拿到的offer是email过来的,
 就两句话, 决定给你offer, 希望你尽快来上班. 别的啥也没说, 工资啊身份啊, 还没谈
呢! 之前查过他们的记录, 他们是要办H1B的, 所以我当时on-site的时候也就没问, 他们
也没提, 但是他们是知道我的opt是下月才开始的. 至于工资, 当时广告上讲过>55K, 在那
个城市不算多,但不知道是给bachelor的还是master的, 也没有谈过. 我现在咋问他们啊?
 还有咋拖时间啊, 这会到月底还有两个礼拜呢, 又怕到时H1B没有了...这...咋整才好? 
sigh, 讲了半天觉得都没讲清楚, 归纳点讲就是:

1. 有个鸡肋offer, 还没谈工资和身份问题, 但是知道他们是应该要办身份的

2. 想去更好的大银行的on-site, 但是时间很晚, 在七月底, 怎么写信请他们提前on-site呢? 要不要告诉他们我已经有一个offer在手了? 还是就只是说我很担心H1B用光?

3. 担心七月底H1B已经用完. 顺便问一句, 这从接受offer到递交H1B材料, 一般要多长时
间啊? 还有我现在还没学位证, 我要八月初才毕业, 但是八月初OPT也开始了, 就无法拖
到明年10月. 

嗯, 就这些, 大家出出主意吧! 谢过先!

至少要写给多少钱吧？？？

直接告诉大公司，有offer要做决定但是很想去他们公司问可不可以提前一点。注意稍微nice一点，显得很喜欢这家大公司的样子，没有问题的。

You should get an official offer letter at least. That'll save you sometime at least.

For the big company, if they would interview many interviewees on a regular basis, I doubt they would move forward your case. But you should at least give it a try, asking them if it's possible for you to be interviewed on an earlier date.

I'm not certain if it's good to tell them you've already got an offer. It could be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on how eagerly they want to recruit more people. They probably care about you and really want to keep you or they could also walk away after hearing your offer. That's only my personal opinion :-)

But you could at least say you're concerned with the H1B quota. If it's a big company, they'll have policies on that and then they'll surely understand your concern.

Congratulations on the offer

BTW, if you graduate in early August, you can select your effective date of your OPT as late as early October, i.e., two months after your graduation date. That's exactly what I did in my situation.
