Hey everyone,
I have a STEM OPT extension application that’s still pending with USCIS, and I’m currently interviewing for new jobs.
I’m a bit confused about how this works if I get an offer before my new EAD card arrives. I know people mention the 180-day automatic extension, but I’m wondering how that actually works when starting with a new employer.
Can a new employer complete the I-9 with an expired OPT EAD, the receipt notice, and my STEM OPT I-20, or do they usually require the new EAD card before letting you start?
Also, for those who interviewed or switched jobs while your STEM OPT extension was still pending, how did you answer HR’s questions about your work authorization during the interview and onboarding process? Did you simply say your STEM OPT extension was pending, or was there anything else you needed to explain?
Would love to hear about your experiences. Thanks!

Hey, I want to ask if you guys working as investment analysts at a real estate fund get involved in OAs. What kind of tasks do you do with OAs? I feel I was very randomly assigned to work on the OA stuff recently. When I work on it, it feels more like legal team work, and I would love to know if this is actually part of what an investment analyst needs to do.

Hey guys, I'm an investment analyst working for a real estate fund. Most projects in our portfolio are ground-up development projects (single-family, townhouse, condo) in New York. I'm preparing the investment memo and would love to learn from you. What should I consider? What should I include in my memo? What are the differences between the one prepared for banks and the one prepared for investors?

One main question I would love to ask: For the sources & uses section, should I write two separate slides listing sources & uses at acquisition and sources & uses for construction (I'm preparing this for a bank, but I'm not sure if that's needed)? For banks, what will you review when a developer applies for loans?

Hey, I'm new to concerts, new to NYC, I saw there was Joe Hisaishi in Concert on July and I would love to know if anyone happens to know if there are rush tickets at Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage for the concert. How do they work? Where and what time can I start buying? If it's fully sold out, do I have a chance to buy standing room tickets?

I only get rush tickets for Broadway shows, but I don't know about concerts.

Hope to hear from someone's insight :)

Hey there, we are a residential developer in NYC. We are very new to the market, with almost no record. We now have a few lands and plan to develop condos / mixed-use.

Land 1 ~60 residential condo units, 30 commercial units, total investment 135m

Land 2 ~3000 market-rate condos, ~100 affordable housing units, total investment 255m

How should we structure our partnership? Would a fund structure or a JV structure be better, or do you have other recommendations?

Not sure. For condo development, could we go with a fund structure, or would a JV structure be better? Why or why not? Would love to hear some practical thoughts, thx :)
