So be honest, a humble advice for all :)

Thoughts on Pfizer’s canvas for developing emails and iDetails?

How do you manage keeping track of and responding to teams chats and emails in a timely manner? I have a hard time addressing chats when I am focused on something else, because I know it will completely derail me. But then I forgot to circle back to the chat when I’m done and I’ve recently been told that my response time is unacceptable and needs to improve, but I’m truly unsure how to improve.

After joining with Barclays does it provide an Appointment letter? I joined 2 weeks back but i didn't receive it yet.

Are FAANG companies really the place to be for SWE’s? I want to work for one but I’m worried about culture & work/life balance.

Really over this job, but company just started my GC application. I hear it takes about 2 years. Is the GC worth the wait? Does the time go by fast? Lol I feel stuck here & just tired. Send help

My sons friend is looking to get into real estate . He is a junior at Indiana University. Looking for recommendations.

Deloitte field my application for AOS, EAD, and I-131 concurrently in November. The online status for AOS changed to “case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” over 2 weeks ago. How much longer

When transferring H-1B, how do we know the case number besides receiving the physical copy of receipt notice from USCIS, which might be 2 weeks + since filing petition?

EY law question - Checked the online portal and it seems like petition is ready to be sent to me but lawyers have stopped responding. Any idea what might be going on? (H1B1 Consular processing)

Can we do GLG type calls while on H1b? I get a lot of these requests but not sure if we are allowed to do this.

My priority date is Dec 2012 in EB2. Is it worth waiting for US GC or apply and get Canadian PR in the next 6-12 months? Serious answers please.

Other than citizenship, are there any other benefits of having a baby in the US vs in India? My wife and I may not be settling in the US, depending on what we decide over time. With that in mind, my wife is siding towards having the baby in India. When I checked online, I don’t really see any benefit except for the citizenship. Any inputs appreciated :)

At what point when we get our GC can we bring in parents in home country to the US? Is it only in conditions where we can prove they need our assistance? Is it possible to at least ask for extended visit time for them if not fully living here? Thank you.

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process? I have only 2 years left with my h1b now, during this unprecedented time I am worried if the firm may not be willing to incur additional cost? Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Is there a diff between starting GC process with FAANG or Big 4? Is the specialty occupation a concern in the GC process? Appreciate any insights!

Hi Everyone, I'm a refugee in the U.S. Work permit granted by the Gov. Have extensive (non-tech) work experience in my country. Is it possible to relaunch my career even with an entry-level job? Possible obstacles and solutions to overcome?

Since we are all WFH, some of my fellow countrymen have headed home and work US hours. Anyone doing this? I know technically not supposed to but these are weird times.

If your current employer wants to move you from payroll of one company LLC to another affiliate LLC, is there any change needed to your H1-B visa?

Tax question: my SM changed my hours with a location I never worked at, from 2020. When I asked for a change, he is hesitant since it’s a long process. Would it cause any issue on visa if I filed a tax to a state I never worked in?

SO and I have finally saved $500k. Should we buy a house or a green card (Indian born on H1 in the US, I-140s approved)
