H1B or not… whatever side you’re on, you can’t deny that there is clearly a rise in racism/xenophobia towards a particular race of people. Especially a group of people who have been very successful in America and commit little to almost zero crime. To those thinking this will make more “white jobs” available, it won’t. Sponsorship is almost non existent now anyways.

What if Pakistan and India unite and form one single country ? Imagine the possibilities for our own people. Our cultures are more similar than our differences. After all we (both countries) are children of the same mother who just lived in separate houses (read partition) for 70+ years.

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there.
