Since then I haven’t received anything and have been waiting for my medical RFE. Do you guys think realistically I have a chance to get GC in this USCIS Fiscal year? Are other people in San Jose facing similar wait times? It’s been 15 months already since AOS filing.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

They say the US has free speech, but to what extent is this true in 2022?
I graduated from GSB, live in San Fran, am left on most things, but find that it’s extremely easy to be ostracized for having any opinion even slightly against the “woke left.” Beyond the obvious ostracization online, it’s extremely true in social circles / gatherings if even a slight opinion is expressed that swings towards the right. Funny though how many of the moral high ground proponents also engage in NIMBYism.

Interested to see the variances, it seems to be substantial from what I've seen. If it changes with level/seniority, please make that clear as well so we can differentiate between companywide averages and individual circumstances / positioning.
