Anyone know about the remote working visa or green visa in Dubai? Anyone obtained it successfully?

Hello! I’m currently have a J1. I’m looking for a J2 that is remote & within the legal field. Please advise if you have any leads. Any advice is appreciated.

Asked this in another group and realized this group might have more insight. Which one should I get: Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve?
I have a 1.5% cash back card from CapitalOne

How do I strategically discuss or negotiate remote work abroad in an interview or when verbally handed the offer?

I am currently interviewing a few of companies. I want to be able to travel (abroad) and work. Time zone isn't an issue, I can work at the same time zone or ensure significant time overlap.

How would you ask for remote work without setting anyone off?

Hello Fishes,

Which company is better in terms of work life balance and wfh options as working mother:
LTI
Capgemini
Infosys

Thanks for your responses.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

If anyone knows of any good fully remote LMS prospects, please let me know since I'm looking now. Thanks in advance. I have 13 years experience.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

As an immigrant who has no family or close friends in the US, I truly envy my colleagues who are able to work remote and travel within the country and see their family and friends. I always dream of working remotely outside of the US temporarily but I haven’t found an employer that allows that yet.

Hey folks for UK which Visa is worth to ask for? Skilled Worker or Specialist Worker (formerly known as ICT). Pros and cons please?

PS : I lived in UK on ICT for 3 years and in India since last 2 years.

My H1B is in RFE status since my educational degree is in electrical and electronics engineering and I am working as software engineer, any idea on what documentation that they might expect to get approve it

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Is there anyone who came to US for courses eligible for CPT and was successful in getting a job and staying through H1B process ? Will appreciate an opportunity to chat.

Anyone on H1B here at Wells?

Planning to venture out to Arizona/Nevad/Utah/California and WFH for 2 months. Any recommendations on which cities / towns to live in?

I just accepted an offer in writing. The new job will start the background check next which I’ve been told it may take a while to complete. My start date at the new job isn’t until 2023 so there is some time for me to turn in my notice. I don’t anticipate any hiccups in the background check but is it wise to wait until the background check is complete before turning in my notice?

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

We have a very broken product process. Our commercial team creates the “strategy” and prioritizes customer problems. But they always want to define the how, when, and product is the executor. What is your current process of commercial providing a customer problem and what are the steps to turn it into a feature?

I thought that too of some of the middle eastern and Caribbean island managers I worked with on a job once, but they turned out to be the most supportive and inquisitive. But I feel ya, sometimes you can sense if they'll be hostile toward you. But I don't give af at this point. In the end, they're still professionals working for Big 4 and probably won't dare say anything to you about it, even if it does bother them. Way I see it, ignorant people like that don't go very far working in our industry.
