Hey all,

Been out of work for about a year now, been interviewing and actively since being laid off due to companys budget cut. Was in final / decision rounds before covid and everything has been tbd or rescinded since. Responses have been few and far in between and now the year gap is becoming a concern.

Would like to ask if anyone has tips or can point me in the right direction. I come from a management consulting/prod mgt background in tech. Disregard the risk consultant title.

incoming cyber risk consultant for Deloitte (starting in sept. in NYC) as a new grad. Can my offer be rescinded b/c if Deloitte goes through mass layoffs? Are certain divisions safer than others?

1) What are the chances I will have my EAD in hand before my H-1B lapses?
2) If my H-1B lapses and I still don't have my EAD in hand, will I be required to quit my job and forfeit my EAD application because I no longer have status?
3) what happens if I lose my job while I’m waiting for my EAD?
TIA
