Hi! quick question, is it illegal to pay someone to find me a job?

I am willing to pay anyone $5000 to find me a remote job within in US

Why am I doing this?
My requirements are a bit different from the usual case. I am not eligible to work in the US and I know sponsoring is hard (90% of my applications were rejected on that basis) but I can work as a contractor (W2 Tax Form for employers) because I have an LLC set up.

I can PROVE my work experience that I will do good at the job too.

Second the Madeline Macho person 👆 She’ll fix you resume, apply for jobs for you, and prep you for interviews, so all you have to do is show up. If I had the $$ then I’d definitely hire her 😭

I checked her out! Looks great tho. But I am thinking after paying if I don't get a job I am at a loss. I wonder how much is her success rate

Been there, done that. Not every company is willing to do it, and it wouldn’t be a W2 since it’d be a contractor form for your LLC and not you (can’t remember the form, but it’s like a 1099 but for your company). Your best bet is work as a consultant for smaller companies selling your service through your LLC (nothing fancy, just a basic website and email address). Once you get 1-2 clients, build a relationship, then one of them might hire you for the equivalent of full time (40hr/week) on a 1-yr contract or something. Just remember you might have to eat the taxes, so if you sell your services @40hrs/wk and get paid monthly, make sure you make clear if you’re charging taxes (based on your service and state), or fiving them a flat rate (easier for them) and eat the transfer/payment fees (if using Stripe/Paypal or wite transfer fees) and be responsible for your business’ taxes. Then remember not to pay yourself through your business if you don’t have a work permit, you need to figure out another way to extract the money from your business (pay expenses, certain bills, etc).

smart

That’s not illegal at all

Come try applying for Capital One! They do offer sponsorships for some positions as well as the ability to be a contractor. I don’t need you to pay me, but I would appreciate if you use my referral link so I can get a finders fee from the company if you were to be accepted/accept the job

Hello Fishes,

I am a fresher. I received a full time opportunity from Shipbob and a 1-year contract opportunity from Salesforce.

ShipBob is remote while for Salesforce I have to relocate to Bangalore.

CTC:

ShipBob: 7lpa

Salesforce is like a golden opportunity. While the Shipbob opportunity will help me to complete the Masters.

What should I consider when the world is about to experience a recession..?

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone tell me how many rounds of interview are there in

I had only 1 round as of now, it was with the Process head VP along with the person I will be reporting (if got selected)

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
