I heard Deloitte won't apply Green Card till 2 years after joining. I'm 3 years from H1b max out. 2 years is too late for me. Any possibility to get an earlier start during offer negotiation?

Anyone got H1B interview appointment? I am still waiting for the HR to confirm that I can go ahead and take an appointment. What is the process , why to still keep on waiting when I can see the appointments are available now.

When is a H1B eligible to initiate H4 ? Also what's the suggested time (when) for such initiation? Please help

Who knows about Goosehead insurances work culture. 5 min into sourcing I’m seeing some discouraging statistics about who they move up faster vs who they don’t. I have a interview this week and I don’t know if I should even continue forward. My main goal is growth and if it’s going to be an unfair environment then that’s a no go.

I’m going to ask for a pay increase. What information should I supply when having the conversation.

I want to spend money on a gift for myself. <$200, any recommendations?

How much should a TV producer be paid a year? I've been working as a digital producer for 2 years now and I've been traveling for the last 4 years, so I'm not sure what would be a fair payment in the US for a TV producer. Any comment will be extremely helpful.

Can I work at a radio station if I have an accent (not super thick, but still noticeable)? Not necessarily talk radio, more like a DJ (or whatever they call them these days)

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

Why does NBC News pay incredibly low wages? There are people with 5+ years of experience and many went to ivy leagues making $20 - $26 an hour as full time employees… What is going on?

Everyone talks about diversity all the time, but I'll just say, I've never once seen a news anchor who wasn't abnormally pretty (girls OR guys). Just sayin' is all

Has anyone seen the movie Spotlight? It made me think again about the passion to find the perfect news, the one that would be really helpful and necessary to society.

After 3 years of freelancing, I just landed my first in-house journalist job!! I’m so happy!

My nephew who's a journalist student told me about the Wag The Dog movie. As a senior journalist, I feel bad about not seeing that gem before. Please don't be like me and watch it if you haven't by now.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

How are unproven theories and claims legally allowed to be called “news?” Lookin at you, Fox.
