For the internationals who are in the US:

I got my H1B this year but also got my STEM-OPT extension (which means I can work another two years on my F1 status). Should I max out my OPT before formalising my H1B (like actually getting the visa stamp) since there’s less taxes involved on F1 or should I convert to H1B and get it done with?

Curious to hear peoples thoughts. Thanks!

Can anyone please share the exact address of the AMEX Bangalore office location?!

Thinking of quitting without anything lined up. Posting it here only bc I’m on a visa. Not gonna glorify it since I’m quitting only bc I don’t like the nature of my job or the environment. Have no grand big things planned ahead. I’m fine with leaving the country. Has anyone been through this and have any advise?

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

If H1b were to be denied, what are the next available options? Also, what options does Deloitte provide?

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.

I have a valid coe and visa of Japan how to search jobs in Japan from India

PwC 🐠: Did you end up signing the green card repayment agreement? Is there a way around it? Feels extremely restrictive, basically looking at 5 - 7 yrs if I want to avoid repayment

Hi everyone. Not on H1B just yet but does anyone have experience traveling to Mexico,Canada or the adjacent islands on an expired F1 visa (Still OPT eligible) through the Automatic Visa Revalidation?

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Got targeted for Amex platinum 100k. Is it worth it? Is there a higher targeted offer?
Considering doing it since no more personal card for BCG expenses. Also have CSR fwiw.

Hello London 🐠

If you’re working in Life Sciences / Healthcare and know if you’re firm is hiring and open to visa sponsorship please do let me know. I’d really appreciate any referral / leads. Thanks so much!!

Hi anyone from india offered and visa process started. If yes please share offered date, PWC contacted date, cos received date, biometric date, visa stamped date. It will be helpful for the people who apply from India. Right now there is an delay in process, so sharing the details will highly helpful to others. Please!

Is anyone starting at the London office on March 15th? Has Vialto initiated your visa process? The recruiter has been unresponsive

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

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.

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?

This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?

Anyone else scroll through LinkedIn and constantly feel behind in their career? Everyone I know is exiting from MBB to VC/PE and I’m still making peanuts at Big 4. How do you deal with knowing you’re mediocre/less sharp?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Just heard of more layoffs in Tech. The S&O bug is spreading :/

Tips on going from consulting into private equity?

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

What book have you read that was helpful for your career and/or that you would recommend? Could be a technical book, management, etc. For me, it’s a book I read a few years ago: The Phoenix Project. I never thought I would read and like a novel about DevOps but I recommend it to all my managers.

I got a covid drive thru test in July and now the medical provider sent me a $700 bill for that and my Uhc insurance has rejected this. I know healthcare in America is screwed up but did not realize the extent of this. Does anyone know what my options are? I thought covid tests need to be covered by insurance under CARES act
