Are you guys not scared of lay-off once you join the new company?

If you are comfortably placed in current org to weather a recession, then take calculated risks only. if not what's the big difference in being first to be laid off against being in the second or third batch :)

Same question for me!

I’ve heard premium processing is not available but people seem to getting approval with 15 days

Wow that’s great thing!

No man! Think be positive

Layoffs can also happen in your current company anyway. But honestly I kinda scared of that but oh well.

It's not dry and dead out there. Started looking only 6 weeks back. Attended 3 interviews. Accepted one offer. Transfer approved in 3 business days. Joining Chase next week. Keep looking guys.
I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
