Hi, does anyone know if you can transfer from second CPT to Green Card.

I just had dinner with some old friends and they are about to retire early. Part of their plan is to downsize their home, get a small condo and travel for 9-10 months a year. Does this seem crazy? I just can’t imagine it. I guess they figured the cost would be about the same but wouldn’t you miss the relationships. Wouldn’t your kids feel lost without having a sense of home? Anyone thought about this?

Hi Fishes
My Android career is in a good shape in India. My parents are considering a marriage alliance with an NRI who is a Civil engineer in Texas. If I move with him by leaving my current job, what are my job prospects in Texas?

Hi! I just got an internship offer for beauty formulation for Amway! I was wondering if anyone had experience with this company before? I’m currently in the product formulation position for ~ $25/hour, paid housing, and additional benefits like dental and health care. Plus, they said I could get free/cheaper transportation if needed! I would love to get advice if anyone has worked here before or how good the benefits are since this is my first internship! I haven’t accepted it yet!

I got a lowball offer from a reputable Fortune 500 for $95k and a 10% sign on bonus for a new role. Benefits are good but I have an opportunity at another company with just as good benefits for $115k plus 5% bonus. What should I do?

I feel like what we do is super beneficial to creative but that's not how it's perceived by a lot of people on here. What do y'all think? How are you feeling/responding to all the hate?

Hello Mates!

My dad and sister co-own our house right now. Because my dad is a co-owner, does that legally indicate that myself and my mom will co-inherit the house with my sister after our father?
Or is an explicit will from my father required in this case, to allow me and my mother as co-owners after him?
