Hi team, am looking to move to Atlanta from the U.K. to settle down with my Miss who lives in Atlanta. I have a British passport but I’ll need to be sponsored. Y background is in PMO and I have worked for two of the Big 4’s. Any advice..? Referral? Opportunity..?

Best advice is to get married. Job search will be far easier.

Brit that lives in Atlanta here - you’ll need to either get a fiancé visa, get married or get a US company to sponsor you for an H1B visa.

H1Bs are given out on a lottery basis and have an annual cap - which is already gone for the next year I think

Get married - easiest way (for getting a job at least😀👍)

OP - you might be eligible for an L1 visa if you get a transfer - that’s an intra company visa and no cap like the H1B.

It also expedites getting a green card by a lot

Do that if you can.

Yeah, just get married. Even if you're not sure about it right now. My best friends brother literally did a Vegas wedding. They got married for real and announced it this year. So they dated post-Vegas for roughly 4 years. No one knew they were married for that time period except their closest family - and me because I happened to recommend the immigration attorney they hired. Vegas was just them being silly about it though, you can just get it done in a local courthouse. This'll give you the best flexibility around finding a job and controlling your career. Also frankly the least stressful route for both of you.

I am moving from Japan to the US with my non American husband and I am also wondering what is the fastest way to go to the US with him. Most people in the comments say gt married, but what does that mean? If we are married we can just enter the country and stay?

There is a spouse visa that you need to apply for. This can take quite a few months depending on the embassy. Once approved, he would enter the US with that visa. Upon arrival he has resident status and effectively has a green card (physical one is mailed later, but he would have perm resident status and can work as soon as he touches down).

Green card lasts for like 10 years or something super long. It can be renewed if he doesn’t have citizenship by then.

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Problem solving skill >>> DSA
