Context: suit shopping for a wedding.
Having to buy an off the rack suit for a wedding, the only options are 40 or 42, when I normally measure 41. Do I buy 42 and just get tailored more heavily?

Depends on how the shoulders fit - seam should hit right at the acromion bone. Go with whichever fits better there, and then tailor sleeve length/waist accordingly

Well, a good tailor can adjust the shoulders somewhat fwiw.

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!
