Hi! What would be a salary/ compensation for a fresher CPA in Bay Area, CA? I had the first interview in a small cpa firm. I’m not having experience in USA. I have some experience in a big 4 in my original country.

(LONG POST) On a contract job currently (work in healthcare consulting). Interviewed with a startup consulting firm in Jun’18. Loved what they were doing. Found we were a great fit. Got offer (contd)

I manage const for eng companies. Got short video interview, then a job offer @ low end my req. range. Experience: it’s normal to travel for a 2nd interview in person. Result: I see quitting to do this as risky. I asked for more $ than my prior range & explained I prefer we meet in person to see if it’s a fit 1st. Hiring manager wants me and may push for the $ but not the in person meet. Wonder if it could cause me to start there with less trust if they think I abused my position for more $.

Spouse has an L1A which was recently renewed. She has an approved I-140 and her employer filed for an I-485 in the Oct bulletin . Her employer’s lawyers also filed for my I-485 as a dependent. I am otherwise on H1-B. We are expecting our I-485 EAD by April . Both of us need visa stamping on our passports . Can we travel back to India (home country) before receiving the EAD without hurting I-485 approval chances , assuming embassies start taking visa interview applications?

Hello fellow fishes!

So a recruiter approached me a while ago for a more technology oriented position, but I need some advice on how to handle technical interviews with Google (have one coming very soon) since I butchered the last one a few years back (as a freshman) and I haven't done a technical coding interview in quite a while... Does anyone have any tips or advice? Or know anything that I can expect and prepare for?

Thanks!!

P.S. yes I know I should've kept practicing my LC. :(

I had an interview lined up with a firm, chose to take another position, and sent a really nice email to the firm that I ultimately declined saying I chose to go elsewhere. Forward 6 months later, I’m now interested in joining that firm again. Will it be held against me that I previously declined an interview?
