ChemicalEngineering PhD转data analyst, H1b希望多大？

楼主Chemical Engineering的PhD马上毕业，签了一个DC附近Senior Data Analyst的offer。在和international student office 办opt文件的时候他们说专业不相关，将来申请OPT extension的时候可能在USICS通过不了，申请H1b更难。这样就十分纠结了，在想要不要马上换工作呢？大家认为opt extension和H1b通过的可能性怎么样呢？

多谢大家了！

don't worry about it.
mine is even worse than you.

but i got my h1b approved, h1b transfer approved.

Thanks for replying! I'm wondering what's your situation and how you connected your degree to your job?
