Has anyone had experience travelling to the US from the Schengen area, while on OPT. I understand that students on an F1 visa are allowed to re-enter, but It’s unclear what happens for students on OPT (not in college anymore)

Unlikely to be an issue of you’ve booked a return ticket from the US. With certain exceptions, Visas are typically more about work authorization or prolonged stays for education/training.

If you’re coming in on holiday, you should be fine, but always good to check the US State Department website to confirm travel requirements from your residence/passport location

I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
