How do you guys deal with visa + layoff together!

If you get laid off when you’re in the middle of an interview process elsewhere, do you tell the prospective employer?

After completing 20 years as a Law Enforcement Officer with the Feds and on the way getting a JD and passing the Bar… trying to transition to an Immigration Attorney position… easier said than done!

What do we think for starting 2/3 of: Chase Edmonds, Etienne, and Curtis Samuel? 0.5 PPR

Off topic:
Any one aware whether global skill strategy visa is still working for intra company transfer?

Asking cuz my org has committed the same however the immigration consultant is saying it would take 42 weeks and GSS visa is scrapped.

Been working at my company as a new grad for almost a year, but don’t see myself in the team that I am in (working with Salesforce) for long term. Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience? Are there companies that will hire by seeing that I am willing to learn and am interested in frontend even tho I don’t have much experience with it yet?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

I was recently laid off and I am actively search for a new role. I am mainly targeting Business Analyst, ScrumMaster, Product Analyst, roles but I am open to others.

Must be located in Austin, Texas or fully remote.

I’m loyal to delta, but I’m moving to a city where American is the main hub and Delta has practically no non-stop flights to/from there. It’s time for me to open a new credit card, so I was considering the Citi/American one. Any thoughts?

Anyone getting or heard H1B RFEs or denials for the third term of three years post I140 approval?

Anyone else heard of layoffs at Accenture Digital in January?

As a former Corporate Counsel, now mostly solo practitioner in Federal Court specialty practice is a mixture of Bankruptcy, Immigration, Business Transactions and Employment law.
My question is could I affiliate "of counsel" on part of my practice like say only Employment Law?

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

How to switch practice areas? I’ve been in immigration for 3 years now and need a change. How do you convince employers you’re a good fit for a role you don’t have any experience with?

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

You made it! It's Friday and the week is over. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend/halloween?

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

Anyone here willing to share their firsthand experience of searching for and selecting a therapist? My wife was kind enough to vet a few through our church and her friends, but wondering if I might find a better fit with a therapist who specializes in working with lawyers or small business owners.

How do you deal with a boss that wants you to quit and is becoming increasingly more abusive. But you haven’t found a job yet and need this job financially.

Hey all! Thank you for the beautiful work that you do! I’m looking for some advice.
Im 30, F, live in NYC, work in tech making 150K and my partner makes 200K. We have no current loans but also no financial help from family and will be helping them in the future. We also want 1-2 kids.

I am so depressed in tech. I love talking to and helping people so much. Everyone tells me to become a therapist. My two concerns are: I’m overly empathetic/ sensitive and whether I could ever recoup financially

Does anyone know how many rounds of interview are done in PWC?

What firms do higher variable comp? I’m familiar with A&M’s model, but curious if there are others. Figure if I’m busting it, might as well get compensated for it.

Why did we choose PA instead of a rotational program again?

People work best when inspired, connected, helped, communicated with and meet others. They learn so much from each other.
As we slowly get to opening offices, this bowl helps people by sharing tips, stories on how to stay sane, interpersonal skills etc.

How are you feeling today?

Are Analysts expected to travel while working for the consulting practise at Deloitte India? How often is one staffed on/rotated across projects?

Anyone looking for a remote data analyst ?

I’m hoping my anti-depressants will help give me a kick to start looking for a new job. I honestly don’t have anything else left and I’m still sad.

My confession is I have always had very competetive and hardworking close friends around me with whom I felt amazing to compete, do more and be the best. A few years back we all made to different countries, now I achieve far less than my potential and find it hard to be as efficient as before. How to fix this?

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

from logistic perspective..how are you guys transferring/moving your money from your US bank account? wire transfer? write yourself a check? idk about check, but cashing in $50k might raise a flag.

My h-1b was valid until Jan 2021, but the when I filed for amendment it was truncated to March 2020. Filed for extension which got denied. Firm is saying I can either work or go on LOA. Any ideas?

Most likely Toronto, Canada. Anyone else thinking CAN?

(LONG POST) On a contract job currently (work in healthcare consulting). Interviewed with a startup consulting firm in Jun’18. Loved what they were doing. Found we were a great fit. Got offer (contd)

Does anyone know if the government shutdown would delay further visa application?

How long do you have to be on L1 to apply for a green card? Is there a time requirement or can you file for it right away?

Hardly any post here has a reply.. maybe the reason we are having visa issues is we are selfish and don’t want to help each other aka karma
