If you get laid off is it possible to go to a B2 visa and then back to a H1B? Extremely stressed with current situation and having purchased a house recently seems to be adding additional pressure.

You should check out the pinned post in the H1b bowl. Someone had shared how they navigated the 60 days legally.

Same here

Have you been laid off or are you creating your game plan In case you’re?

No. Just thinking through possibilities. Also, is there a possibility of switching to H4 and then going back to a H1B?

I have done this in a former life.

The b2 can buy you six months.

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
If I were to apply this thinking to the creative side of the ad world, what's the answer? Pharma and B2B? Leave the industry?

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
