Do you guys book your business Travel on Amex or personal credit cards?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

What is the % we can expect for yearly performance bonus which is not part of package and how is it calculated and when it will normally be credited ?

I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it.

Trump just signed an EO banning any new work visas. As someone on a work visa, I am going through Twitter to find more information and I couldn’t believe the amount of hate I am seeing in this country for legal immigrants.

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

Thoughts on Sutherland Global?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(
