Has anyone been able to secure a new job with H1-B while outside US? I was recently laid off and am outside US. I have a valid H1-B for another two years. Any one in similar scenario who has been able to secure a job?

Outside where ?

The challenge will be the time zone I guess. Finding a job shouldn’t be a problem, at the moment anyway since everyone is still remote. You can have your visa processed premium too. Can you find a job with BCG India ?

It is possible. Interviews are all virtual anyways and you still have two years on your visa. Reach out to recruiters and it should work. Good luck!

Thoughts on asking for a voluntary layoff (which I assume will help transition my role to someone new)? I’m severely burnt out and think I want to switch careers.

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.

Question for those that are familiar with how severance pay works. I received a package a while back and was paid bi-weekly severance. The payments ended a few months ago but just the other day I had a severance deposit. Curious if it’s possible to get additional payment at this point or does this look like a mistake? I know the logical answer might be to just call but I’ll be honest in that I am still looking for a job and this would definitely help me. Thanks for your advice!
