Currently not in the agency world (taking a year off). If I’m gunning for an August 1st return to full-time, when should I start looking for work?

I’d lay the initial groundwork now. Not actively looking, but putting feelers out. Could take longer than you might think.

It’s smart to always be on the lookout for a great opportunity and jump on it when you find it. There is nothing worse than compromising.

I’ve actually gotten offers over the summer before. But seriously... watch the economy. If shit starts to hit the fan, agencies can get hit hard real fast.

May/June actively and put feelers out before but be clear about your timeline if it’s not flexible. If it is, think about if you start interviewing in June and something goes well - are you willing to start earlier or in July? etc.

Anyone know all-in costs for Fragomen to process an EB2 or 3 for ROW filer? Got an offer includes GC Day 1 but the company has never done one, so I’d basically be leading the process with the lawyers. I got a referral to a smaller firm that quoted ~20k incl. gov’t fees. Interested in going with Fragomen given they did my H1B and started my GC with my current Firm.
