Hello,
I am currently on OPT [Already 7 days into it unemployed]. I got a job offer at a very small firm. The job role is programming [VB, C#, JavaScript etc...]. It is a software solutions company. However my major is Electrical & Computer Engineering. My I-20 says its Electrical, Electronics & Communication.

Now I can draw some parallel between what I have studied [ Computer Networks, Computer Security, Telecom etc...] to the job profile.

Can anyone tell me how much related it is to my major? Will it cause problems if I accept this offer?

Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
YellowJacket

I think this is fine. You can work there.

Hmmm great.

But is there any rule of thumb or guidelines that I have to keep in mind to make sure that the employment is related? Because, I can relate 1000's of computer science jobs to ECE in some way or the other. Does that mean that I can work for any software firm?
