How are my fellow immigrants coping with this madness? The idea of layoffs (money,visas) and not being able to go back home (no flights /borders closed) is freaking me out

Recruiter reached out about a role at a company I was fired from as an intern. The role is in another department than where I originally worked. This was 3 years ago.... do I have a shot?

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

Layoffs are coming

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Some student told me he brushed his teeth.

So what did I do?

I gave him a job.

Because that’s what heroes deserve.

Sure, it was an unpaid internship that lasted a week, but hey - now I’m a hero, too.

When I fired that intern (since all he did was brush all day), I told him that Colgate max white is pretty good.

And he left with tears.
Tears of joy (I think).

Agree?

Did any of the Big4 start furloughs or layoffs in US?

My firm has laid off 25% of its attorneys and has fired all non-essential staff. I’m terrified/can’t afford to be let go. What can I do? How do I prepare for a potential lay off?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Is PwC still continuing with layoffs?

Laid off and come to find out much of it was because a director under me sold me out. And I really tried my best to help him but after 3 months I felt blindsided. Why does this industry suck?

Today was a good day. Had a dream I got laid off, woke up to find out I got my promotion on vacation in Vegas. @EDCLV #itsgonnabeagoodweekend#timesaregood

Was lucky to get a job shortly after being laid off. Work’s not hard but feeling burned out cause of bad process, meaningless jobs on top of the pointlessness of everything happening. How you coping?

I got laid off and my Cobra insurance is over 700$/month. That's an insane premium, does anyone have any advice?

Hey all. I just got hired as a Sales manager in a remote setting. As soon as I was done with training, the leadership team cut the entire BD side. They offered me 2 weeks of severance or an individual contributor role. Curious to know if anyone has connections to an open management/enablement role? I've built sales teams from scratch, 10 years of sales exp, and familiar with a lot of tech. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Morning guys. I already posted in the “job referral” bowl and got no where so I figured I’d reach out in this group. Anyone in here work at Meta or Zoom wanting to give a job referral? I’m a 10 year attorney currently working in tech. Also, side note there is a job referral bowl in case anyone is looking for a new position as well.

How much value do linkedin learning courses hold for UX designers? Are coursera or udemy better? Do you recommend IDF? By value I mean if I was to apply for a job again a few years down the lane, would these certifications add more value to my experience? For context, I am working as a full time junior UX designer but am still new to the field.

How do you grow and learn new things as a UX designer outside of your job? (Besides coffee chats with designers - I already do that!). Thank you!

Mandatory wfo for gurgaon folks?

Im on L1A visa with PwC and can apply for EB1C ( no PERM needed) after 1 year. Question is - if I want to switch companies, can new employer sponsor my GC. If yes, then can they apply for EB1C category too or only EB2 for which PERM is required?

What's your side hustle?

How much could be paid a power electronics engineer in Germany (automotive field)?

What’s the most efficient way to study for FAR? I have Becker and I’m not able to remember the first chapters I learned because there is so much information. To go through all of the modules with the lecture videos, simulations, and MCQs takes forever.

Anyone here actually subscribe to the Windows Insiders Edition thing?
I tried it for a bit, and it boggles my mind that native CUDA and some nice UI experiments can possibly be worth your system occasionally deciding it's gonna take 20 minutes to boot and remain only half functional because of a bad push

My friend bought a nice condominium and his agent assured him that it had a garage. AFTER he signed the papers and moved in, the neighbors told him that the unit does not come with a garage. Can he sue the agent? He feels ripped off.

What’s your most intense negotiation story? Negotiating to take a senior role at a small company. I’m negotiating the deal to be mostly variable, performance based comp. I’ll make 4x or <50% of what I make now. I’m, what I believe they say, “Shitting bricks.”

So is the 21 GRAMS merger with W20 actually a takeover?

After taking Clomid, does anyone know what the minimum level your progesterone (ng/mL) should be at to indicate ovulation has occurred?

How have your agencies been with sponsoring employee visas under the Trump Administration? I’ve seen less and less sponsored employees....

Keeping close attention to this Trump tweet that could have drastic impact on our lives.

As of now, we don’t know much more than what his tweet says.

Please share info and try not to cause panic.

Unpopular opinion: is it really that bad that Trump is making it impossible for people who rely on government assistance to get green card? Shouldn't green card be merit based?

How many of you feel like your employers take advantage of controling your lives through the visa sponsorship?
Example: You work harder and twice as much as the average white male but get paid less.

H1B vs O1? What path would you rather take?

Anyone know which agency sponsors employment based green card? My currency company won’t sponsor until my h1b expires in 2-3 years, so i’m curious to see how other companies handle.
