I am helping a client find a CCO. Where do these people gather besides Cannes? We are looking for a high profile name, award winning etc. I can look on awards sites, and the standard creative agencies etc but is there some thing or some place more interesting I can look? I am a TA person but I don’t handle creative recruiting typically and I want to get this search right! TIA.

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this? I wonder if this means they’ll now just file a Senior Perm instead? Asked them but they’re not very responsive.

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Hello. Does anyone know someone who is interested to hire a foreign trained dentist as dental assistant? The thing is that I don't have work visa as well...

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with. Now, a friend and I both traveled US to Europe in the last week, different routes, in Econ/Biz. For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

All gates are open , flood in with your questions and answers !

de Blaiso says we’re on track to hit orange zone of restrictions post Thanksgiving which means no more indoor dining among other things.

The metric they are using is % positivity rate.

My question is this - is this a fair metric and if not what is a better metric to compare if it’s getting worse and we need social controls?

I only got tested when I traveled out of state for wedding and thought I was at a high(er) risk for exposure. Tested positive but I was already expecting that. (Contd)

help I literally never learned to properly case and have an interview coming up with BCG, what are the best resources for me to use?

Can we open New Salary bank account in Optum for lateral? Or its mandatory to provide last company's salary account details and continue with same bank?

Fellow desi folks - how do you keep your h4 spouse occupied? We are going to be marrired in january and want to provide her as much support as possible. .

She said she wants to pursue MBA but supporting her tutuion fees is currently out of limits for me given im purchasing a family home in mumbai which is going to cost me 4.5cr.

How do i bring up this topic without sounding too negative that i cant support her tution fees but can cover all other expenses (living,transport,food,travel,education

Did anyone start WFO in Hyderabad? If so what is the occupancy in your office ?

Hi

Can one get transferred to JPMC canada after serving one year in bangalore? I will get married and my spouse will have visa in canada and i will be the dependent one. Can i mention this to my manager and see if it is possible to get me transferred to Canada branch? Or i will have to leave the job?

Would folks be interested in a NYC singles of fishbowl party? I know a solid venue

Can some of you experienced folk recommend some good books for rookies? What are your favorites for investment strategies, marketing, selling, etc.?

Who is everyone voting for this coming city election? I don't want another four years of John Tory.

Combined net take-home £8000/month. Wanting to rent for £2300, with additional £300-400 in bills. Don’t want to buy as I will not be here for too long and fear brexit. Is that stretched?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Appeal to all Indian consultants in this bowl to hit the little “me” icon at the bottom right of your screen, go to the settings icon on the top right and hit “send feedback” and let FB know what has been happening on the Desi bowl, arbitrarily blocking ppl who asked for action to be taken against folks making personal attacks.

How long is it taking to hear back from companies (Accenture, Deloitte etc.) after applying with referral? Is it quicker because of great resignation or still the same amount of waiting time?

Finally some good news - USCIS furlough cancelled!

does having an eviction impacts your GC aplication via employer?

Has anyone recently renewed visa stamp in Beijing? How did it go? Anyone got administrative processing?

Anyone with June non-premium filing had their H1b approved?

Has anyone here actually won the diversity visa lottery? I've been playing for 7 years with no luck...

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet. However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

Are initial law firm consultations usually free? I’m on H1B and wanted to schedule an initial consultation with an immigration lawyer to discuss some GC options (outside of employment based) and was told I’d have to pay $200 for a consultation (45 mins session).

Am I being cheap for not wanting to pay that or are there firms out there that offer free consultations?

How did you ask for green card upon receiving H1B? I am a H1B holder thinking about asking my employer to sponsor my green card (same employer who sponsored my H1B). Curious to hear how others with similar experience have managed such conversations!

Hey guys, one question. My H1B will start on Oct 1st, and I am planning to visit my home country to get H1B visa stamp. I filed my amended state tax return a year ago and did not hear from them. Does it affect my VISA or entry to the US? Or should I call them to check the status of my status tax return? Please advice

For H1B stamping, while there are many cases of admin processing, which take 2-4 months, have there been any cases of Denial after that or do most cases come out of admin processing with approval?

Is someone here stuck on the job title because of the GC processing? I am just so frustrated… it’s making me mentally exhausted since I’ve been working as a Senior for 5 years already. My PERM is still in process and planned to be filed next year.

Canada PR vs USA H1B visa. I am on H1B in USA with a good job and I have a Canada PR which I thought of using to get more stability in life but as I am running out of time on Canada PR it’s making me anxious if I should stay in the USA or move to Canada. Can someone share their experience if faced the similar issue?

For those who petitioned for your parents to come to the US, what health insurance plan did you purchase for them? Thank you!!

Since EY Law does not provide evidence of filling for H1b, how sure can one be that the company really filed for them? With the high rate of H1b denials, I doubt EY Law really filed for everyone.

My H1B extension was approved last week! Just want to throw out some positive vibes for everyone who’s still waiting on decision, and good luck!!!

Has anyone requested for an experience letter from Deloitte for Canada PR? The automated letter doesn’t provide job responsibilities. I requested an exception and they want to know the reason for it.

How common is it for employers to pay for the cost of applying for a family based GC (an an AOS)? I understand it happens fairly frequently but would love to hear experiences!

I have a joke about H1Bs, but it is RFEd

Does anyone know if it’s an issue if you’re traveling overseas and your GC gets approved and delivered to your US residence? Can you still access the country on your visa/advanced parole
