Looking for some advice as I am considering relocating to US. How difficult is for HR professionals to get a work visa? I think from what I read I qualify under eb3 (no master yet) or h1b. How do for do about looking for positions that sponsor your visa? I'm in the defense sector and have previously healthcare and financial services experience. Also worked in global matrix organisations with US teams so know the culture quite well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just curious- how many 🐠 on this bowl are on OPT/ h1b (H) and how many have GC/citizenship (C)?

I have H1B visa from previous company. Does anybody know the process to transfer it to PwC?

PS - Just wanted to be prepared for travel if any opportunity comes. I know it is long shot as travel is restricted.

Is it difficult to move without a reference. I got all the skills needed in current job market. But looks like getting a job call itself is difficult.
Or is it because of My H1B visa status.

Is getting a Job opportunity in US/UK with visa sponsorship possible without having any overseas experience? I have 3 YOE in recruitment, recruitment operations and HR operations. l also completed MBA from Pune India.

I'm a 12 YOE professional working as a full stack dotnet developer on microservices and cloud apps. I have an H1B visa stamped this year. Looking for a sponsor in USA. Can someone refer me please?

Has anyone here gone through a marriage based green card process with Deloitte? I believe I read somewhere that you can start that process regardless of being in an application period or not. Want to hear some stories of length, initiation, etc

If in your employee handbook states that if you leave within the first year of your green card, you need to pay back all the expenses, but when the green card was initiated, I did not sign anything, can they hold me to it and ask me to pay?

Hello. Does anyone know someone who is interested to hire a foreign trained dentist as dental assistant? The thing is that I don't have work visa as well...

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

Hi peeps, Looking for thoughts on adding a social media feed to the homepage of our B2B Tech Industry website. My thoughts are that it will help get our webinars and personality on our homepage without overly cluttering it up, but does it also navigate people away from our page? Maybe a banner ad on our homepage for the webinars is better? TYIA

RSM folks, how long prior to start date did you get your laptop? Did you get any info on tracking number etc?

I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M.

RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I thought the power reserve on DJ41 Ref126333 was about 70hours, but I noticed it’s about 40-48 hours on mine. Wear mine about every other day, but not on weekends and then Monday morning when I go to wear it, it’s dead and have to wind it. Anyone else seeing this?

Got a new job and will start H-1B transfer. What’s the risk of giving my notice right before LCA is filed or right after? I know all lawyers advice to give notice once H-1B receipt is received but I need a break from my current role and want to have some free time before I start new role. I am fairly positive of the H-1B transfer at my new company as it’s a big tech firm

I currently have my EAD based on my OPT with an addition 2 year renewal. I have also submitted a marriage based GC application in Nov 2021, did my biometrics currently waiting on my interview. I have an offer from a tech company and want to leave my current employer. I am worried if I tell my upcoming employer about being currently on OPT they will freak out and take back their offer even doh I can work and don’t need their sponsorship.

Do I have to tell ? Has anyone experience this before?

Anyone think the PERM processing time will fasten? I’d imagine with Covid there would have been less filing...
