I would like a labor or immigration lawyer's opinion on the following:

In the U.S., working with an H1B visa as staff augmentation is prohibited since the visa requires that the employee's superior, who controls and supervises their work, must be from the same company that handled the immigration paperwork. This law is frequently violated by many consultancies.

What about near-shore or off-shore workers? Is it legal for them to work as staff augmentation for U.S. companies?

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!

I find it difficult to figure out what I should be getting paid. In the consulting space, we wear so many different hats that it's weird/difficult to generalize titles. Anyone else?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

Why are engineers so difficult to recruit? Sometimes they make me feel stupid lol.

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
