At Link Snacks, we show up hungry, roll up our sleeves, plaid or otherwise, and dive straight into the hard work. We don’t hide from challenges; we hunt them down. We push harder, move faster, and take the kinds of big swings that built this business in the North Woods of Wisconsin four decades ago.
We’re everyday people who deliver extraordinary results. Innovation, creativity, and urgency aren’t buzzwords, they’re expectations. And just like the real protein snacks we make across our global house of brands—Jack Link’s®, Lorissa’s Kitchen®, Golden Island®, BiFi®, and Peperami® to name a few—there’s nothing artificial about us. What you see is exactly what you get: humble, gritty, passionate people who show up every day ready to not just be a participant in the meat snack industry that the Link Family created, but to move faster, innovate harder and keep raising the bar so high, the rest of the world needs a ladder just to see it.
Dominating this space across the world takes a team. A team that runs together, succeeds together, and celebrates together. A team that’s full of relentless energy and spirit that can only be fueled by one thing: a fist full of our delicious meat snacks.
Real Meat Protein. Real People. Real Results. THAT is Link Snacks.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as a Salesforce Business Analyst
Verify your CIP code before applying
Check that your degree's CIP code is on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List. Information systems, computer science, and management information systems codes commonly support Salesforce BA roles, but business administration degrees often don't qualify without a STEM concentration.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Ask your recruiter to confirm E-Verify enrollment during the offer stage, not after signing. An employer can intend to hire you but lose your authorization if they're not enrolled, since STEM OPT requires an active E-Verify company ID on your I-983.
Frame your Salesforce certifications as STEM credentials
Salesforce Administrator, Platform App Builder, and Business Analyst certifications signal technical depth to hiring managers who might otherwise treat BA roles as non-STEM. Pair certifications with your degree transcript when submitting your I-983 training plan learning objectives.
Target employers with LCA filings for BA titles
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for Business Analyst or Systems Analyst roles. DOL LCA data shows which companies have actively sponsored workers in Salesforce-adjacent positions, cutting your research time significantly.
Negotiate I-983 training goals tied to Salesforce projects
Your I-983 must show a direct connection between your STEM degree and your job duties. Map specific Salesforce deliverables, such as requirements gathering, workflow automation, or data modeling, to the learning objectives so your DSO can approve the plan without revision requests.
Time your extension request around your OPT end date
File your STEM OPT extension with USCIS at least 90 days before your initial OPT expires. A timely filing triggers a 180-day automatic extension of your EAD while USCIS adjudicates, so your authorization stays continuous and you won't need to pause work.

Find Salesforce Business Analyst JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Salesforce Business Analyst role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
It depends on how the role is classified and whether your degree carries an eligible CIP code. If your employer designates the position under SOC codes like 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) or 13-1111 (Management Analysts in STEM contexts), and your degree is in computer science, information systems, or a related STEM field, the role can qualify. Your DSO confirms eligibility when approving your I-983.
What STEM degrees make you eligible for the STEM OPT extension in this role?
Degrees in computer science, management information systems, information technology, data science, and related engineering fields typically qualify because their CIP codes appear on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List. A general business administration degree without a STEM concentration usually does not qualify, even if you've worked exclusively in Salesforce environments. Check your official transcript for the exact CIP code your institution assigned.
What does an employer need to do to hire you on STEM OPT as a Salesforce Business Analyst?
Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify and sign Form I-983, which documents your training plan and connects your job duties to your STEM degree. For a Salesforce BA role, the I-983 should detail specific technical responsibilities such as requirements analysis, Salesforce configuration, or data reporting. The employer's E-Verify company ID must appear on the I-983 before your DSO can issue the updated I-20.
How does cap-gap protection apply if you're on STEM OPT and your employer files an H-1B petition?
If your employer files an H-1B petition before your STEM OPT expires and you're selected in the lottery, cap-gap protection automatically extends your OPT authorization through September 30 of the fiscal year the petition targets. You can continue working as a Salesforce Business Analyst during this period without interruption. USCIS issues updated I-20 documentation through your DSO confirming the extension.
Where can you find Salesforce Business Analyst jobs where employers are already set up for STEM OPT hiring?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and LCA filing history, so you can focus on companies that have already navigated STEM OPT authorization before. This is more reliable than applying broadly and discovering at the offer stage that an employer isn't enrolled in E-Verify or hasn't hired international students before.
