I think of the free hotel nights, airline upgrades and per diems I’m earning.

By now I have a great packing system and a well matched wardrobe that doesn’t crease easily. I know the little luxuries to bring that make a big difference and have learned for toiletries to try and stick to brands that are sold almost anywhere. I have a “home” set of essentials (charger, moisturizer, medicines) and a travel set that stays permanently packed, a standing Friday afternoon grocery delivery scheduled, and appreciate that in my particular role, the further I am from the office, the more peaceful my life generally is.

There’s definitely times I hate the sight of my suitcase though, appreciate it’s not for everyone, and anticipate I’ll want to start spending a little more time at home soon

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.
