I was laid off on June 26. I am international and my OPT is coming to an end very soon. I had a call with an immigration lawyer today. Deloitte unfortunately does not offer additional support for immigrants.

I am qualified and in need of a job ASAP. I have until July 24th to find a job or I will have to start a new educational program or leave the US.

JOB REQS: 20-40 hours per week, offer compensation, e-verify employer, STEM in CS/InfoSys/CompEng

Please help.

I’m sorry OP, this is a really unfortunate situation. You should post more about what your skillset is - maybe someone on this board will have good leads.

Side note: you said Deloitte didn’t help. What did you expect for them to do?

Sorry for your misfortune! If you see any roles on Guidehouse’s career site, I’d be happy to refer you.

Really really sorry to hear this OP, this is a terrible situation to be in. Would also check with your university and their career center - you might be able to get a job working for your university for now until you are able to find something more long-term

Thank you! I have checked with them and they are working on it with me as well. They are very diligent.

RSM has openings in security transformation for a senior associate and a manager. If you have any cloud experience, you could have a shot. Hiring in any US location. The jobs are posted on LinkedIn but I could refer you.

What if I had a job requirement that was 60-80 hours.

Would you take it, or just let it slip?

OP, if you're from India then just cut your losses and return back. If you're worried now, think about this worry every time your H1b is up for renewal because you won't get a green card ever due to backlogs.

Go back while you still can. This is a blessing in disguise. Everything you're trying to retain professionally is overrated.

Go back sweetie. Although I feel sorry for you, but it i had to give my early twenties advise it would be to go back home or to some place else. It will be painful like a breakup but it will be worth it man. Trust us!

To clarify, going back home is not an option. My country is not stable politically or economically and there are no job prospects. Skillset includes AWS Solutions Architect certification, PowerBI, SQL, Scrum Master Certified, etc. DM for details

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?
