I’m in the same situation and was cleared for side hustle by Deloitte immigration for side gig. Also received approval in the outside employment process that you have to follow.

No - in order to do that you would be in violation of your H1-B. The immigration team will advise you appropriately, but we are in your position and mine have told me not change anything and act as if I am on H-1B till the time I get the green card.

I applied for a job at Embark about a week ago - should I be worried that I haven't heard back? How long does it usually take to hear back from a company after applying online? It's been a while since my last job search and I don't want to get too worked up after only a week if I don't need to.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

I left practice 12 years ago. I became the Director of International Programs at a law school, which was great for a while. But, the bureaucracy eventually got to me. While there, I started a podcast called The Lawyer’s Escape Pod, interviewing lawyers who’d switched careers. And that put me on my new path. I now coach lawyers who want to ditch the traditional work world and start creative or coaching businesses. Never been happier.

My question is if I apply for it, will they get to know about my PwC india offer and they will rescind my PwC India offer as well as not proceed with the PwC AC Interview?

Pls help🙏🏾🙏🏾
