Feeling stuck: came to nyc on a visa, lived there for a few years, had a blast. Then my agency had layoffs & messed up my visa timing so I came home. it’s been tough since with US gigs due to visas.

Got laid off. Have savings to hold me until I find a new position but mostly I'm just embarrassed. Has anyone ever gotten laid off and not told their friends/partner about it? I just don't want people in my circle to know I failed basically.

Anyone knows how chase sapphire travel insurance works? I used the first leg of the trip but cannot return due to an illness. It is cheaper for me to cancel the return leg and buy and new one way.

I’m a US citizen and my partner is in india. We want to apply for a fiancé visa. Heard it’s better and processes faster than brining over a spouse. Curious how long it takes to process? Your experience and any recommendations for immigration lawyer to help file in the NJ area would be appreciated. TIA!

What are some concrete reasons why someone in consulting would be fired, other than the obvious stupid things?

For H1B stamping, while there are many cases of admin processing, which take 2-4 months, have there been any cases of Denial after that or do most cases come out of admin processing with approval?

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

Does H1B transfer in India need stamping again? Please let me know

Any chances to move from Europe to the States? How’s the visa situation? Are agencies sponsoring?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

hearing there was massive layoffs at concentric today. in the dozens. can someone confirm or refute?

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

What are the companies that provide H1B support to the employees applying from outside US?

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

This is the great resignation, right? Thoughts on jumping for the fourth time in seven years? I’m chasing the pay to get to where I want to be and have an offer but am getting reservations on making a move within a year. Appreciate any similar personal experience.

I feel like I need a career coach because I am considering switching jobs but I don’t know where to go or where to start. I feel really overwhelmed and don’t know what I’m qualified for. And then always worried another job could be worse than the one I’m in now. Am I the only one like this? Where do you start? I can look at job postings and all but idk what I want to do long term. Especially with WFH I feel like there’s absolutely no networking or anyone to talk to outside of my team

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Mccann creatives - what are the good groups?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
