Desi folks who were laid off what did you do or what are you doing if none of the fulltime opportunities are falling in place to keep the h1b visa status and 60 day grace period in check.

In a similar boat! Getting a lot of rejects when applying to fulltime roles. Could be coz of visa sponsorship or role fit or hiring freeze. I’m starting to think about Desi consultancies but that is hard as well.

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me.

I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?
