For Indian parents whose kids are aging out how are ya all planning & what are the realistic options?

Is it normal to want to commit to someone but not their family? Like if it were just us in this world everything would be perfect wouldn’t hesitate to propose but when I think about how different our families/backgrounds are, I just don’t see how we can make this work? Plus there’s a language barrier there as well with them being foreigners, on top of religious differences and so much more? Anyone else can relate? I don’t know if love alone is enough

Feeling very unloved by my family, my friends, in life in general, my SO. Please comment with something funny or cute 💚❤️

Would you sacrifice everything (where you live, job) for your partner? I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 years, long distance for one because of work and about to KO a now even longer distance year bc

Has anyone used Toptal for job hunting? Their process seems time consuming so I want to know if it's worth it. Time is limited in my current season of life. Spouse and I both work and we have 2 littles at home. I'm miserable and have stagnated at my job and need a change.

Folks with kids - what's your routine for cooking, gym, home chores etc. ? We have a 2.5 year old toddler and we struggle to cook food, drop off our kid in daycare and then cook dinner and find time for working out. I am curious how other working couples organize and manage cooking, home chores gym. I am recently diagnosed with ADHD and curious how others make it work while working full time. Thanks!

maybe i see the world differently than most people but the way this bowl reacts to posts about infidelity is WILD to me. if the person i love happens to hook up with somebody else, n then chooses to TELL me… it’s reason for a deep conversation. maybe even couples therapy. but it doesn’t immediately taint our bond in a way that means we need to break up, get divorced, etc.

yous all have some weird hair triggers about sex. and a misunderstanding of the essence of physical intimacy if you ask me.

2 of my best friends who were dating for over 9 years just broke up and I feel like I’m going through the breakup with them as well. I’m sad I won’t get to hang out w/ both of them at the same time

Para 3

still there’s not a single good word spoken for me from her side. we do not have any understanding between us, i come from a conservative middle class family, even though i earn well and life is not difficult for me, i live way below my belt.
She and her family has threatened me and my family, that if things don’t fix between us then i will have to bear the consequences, they are rich and wealthy, they will implicate fake legal case against me and my family.

3 months post breakup… I seemed to be healing well and all the sudden this week I took a huge step back and feel heartbroken all over again. For context I was in a 4 year relationship including 1 year engaged and had to call my wedding off due to his infidelity. How can I shake this? 😔

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I showed up to the airport high asf after smoking a bong and eating 100mg of edibles my friend gave me for the first time in my life AMA

Did anyone see those big bucket of tears from Jihoon, and Devan’s response? Devan needs to go back home with her mom and leave Jihoon with his mom.

Happy Halloween y’all!
I’m looking for some insight into the market for recent grads. It’s been a while since I’ve been a recent grad myself but my younger sibling just graduated from an ivy cum laude and has had no luck in her search for over 4 months. Is this normal? (For more context, she has a degree in economics, about a year of internship experience and is looking for a financial analyst role or something similar. She’s applied to roles through company sites, handshake, LinkedIn, indeed…)

What games, toys, or science kits would you recommend for a kid who’s showing an interest in the sciences?

Morning Everyone,

Hope everybody is having a great weekend and for people who are not so having a great time like me and facing some difficulties in life, please know that it is just a phase and it too shall pass like the good ones and yes talking to your mother might help she has the greatest strength.

Also can I request you all to please give me 11 likes as I am new and I am not able to start a chat. I am in a great need to find a job.

I will be really grateful if your guys could help 🙂☮️

Is it strange if a husband continually tells their wife that they don’t have anything to talk to them about when the wife tries to engage in conversation. Or him stating that if he has something to say then he will talk.

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

How do y’all manage to keep in touch with friends and family. I spend atleast 6-7 hours talking to everyone over the weekend, and am burned out even before the week begins.

Around what week we’re other people able to feel your baby kicking or moving???

Teaching Autistic Support via Zoom is so difficult. The behaviors are way worse and there is next to nothing I can do to help my students parents.

Any idea if accenture stopped giving joining bonus to Lateral hiring?

Are bonuses (%) within FDD generally the same across Big4? Curious what standard % is for seniors and managers

Thoughts on INSEAD, Bocconi and LSE MBA’s?

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

Has anyone here tried to be in school while working in law enforcement? I'm thinking of starting an online program, but worried I won't have the time

Who has a LLM from USYD? Would like to know your experience. I am starting first semester 2023 as a full time student and working. I have heard from friends doing a LLM full time whilst working (not at USYD though) that it is achievable but very time consuming.

Every morning I wake up not knowing what day it is. Days have no meaning anymore. It’s just X number of days until 10/15.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks.

Is anyone friends with their coworkers? As in hang outside the office?

Getting my first wax in awhile. Full bare or strip?

Those who put your cat/dog pic on your profile pic *on Teams*, why? No hate, just curious.

Anyone know what is the eligibility for promotion in Harman and when that gets reflected? I have 9+ years of exp expecting designation change by this year. I completed 2.5yrs in Harman

That moment when you realize you won't get upgraded on your 6am flight

It’s almost Purim!

I am a Trump Supporter and will be voting for him in the upcoming election. That said, should Joe Biden win, he will be my president and I will get behind him to support our country. That’s the difference and I hope that resonates with the other side. We care about our country. God bless.

Sony 16-35 mm. Worth it?

Best MBB firm for healthcare work (provider side)?
And for healthcare exit ops?

Is Premium Processing stopped right now for H1B transfers? Might have to defer the job hunting if PP can’t be done as switching on acknowledgement seems a bad idea in current scenario.

Sending some good vibes! H1b extension got approved with RFE getting cleared in 14 days. These were some of the most stressful days with covid, EO and so much non-clarity everywhere. For anyone in the same boat, hang in there and you will hear the good news soon. :)

Deloitte started my green card process in 2019. Went through prevailing wage last September, then they paused the process I guess due to covid and political reasons. I checked last month and it’s still on a pause. My 6 year H1B is up in 2023. Any suggestions on what to do next or anyone know how long the pause usually last? I am from China mainland. Thank you

Hi - has deloitte filed eb1c for anyone here...did he or she had to wait for the enrollment period for the same

Can I remain in the US and work for the Canadian branch of my company while my green card application is pending (my STEM OPT just expired and I haven’t gotten my green card approval yet). Traveling will mean abandoning my green card application 😩

Any recommendations for moving companies from NYC --> London?

Question re:H1B - how long do you have to wait before asking your employer to petition for a green card? just curious since I plan to take my spouse with me, and they won't be able to work on H4 visa.

Left my current employer and got RFE with the new employer now. Do I still need to leave country in 60 days?

I am an Indian Passport holder and I just got my L1b visa extenstion approved. But I need to go to get my Visa Stamping done.Can I goto Canada instead of India to avoid any stamping rejection?

NOT Preaching Alert🚨 but folks on work visa in US, I know its very confusing and uncertain environment that’s increasing our anxiety everyday BUT remember that when you came here you didn’t have anything and most likely have earned/learned so much in terms of education, experience, cultural values, and money ofcourse that it must have prepared you for other options if things don’t work out here. Don’t lose heart and take one day at a time. You got this! We will survive.

Quick question- should I still apply for 2yr STEM OPT extension if I was picked in H1B lottery this year? My Company is in process of filing H1B petition.
Apologies if this has been asked before (I couldn’t find the thread)

How long does it take to physically receive the RFE letter mail? My tracker mentioned RFE on 12/10..

Does anyone know how much does it cost to a company who is doing H1B transfer for a candidate? Also, how much do they have to pay for the Green Card process?

USA question: Im on an L1A sponsored by work. Can I engage in the process of getting a GC after a year of service on my own or do I need to go through my work?

I’m afraid they’ll prefer to extend my current L1A even if I meet the requirement for a more permanent status.

When do you bring up sponsorship during the interview process? At the beginning or when you get an offer or...?

Given current immigration climate do you regret choosing US to build your career. If Trump wins it will be final nail in the coffin. Miller and anti immi gang will hang us dry

I am on h1b and have only 2 months left before the first 3 years are over.

Deloitte has not filed for an extension yet, wondering if 2 months is enough time for them to at least file for extension?

With other companies also expected to go through similar GC pauses due to layoffs, should I move out of Deloitte? I have 30 months to max out and all I needs is just a perm to be filed in 18 months
