I’m on an h1b visa and will be switching jobs soon. I was thinking of taking some time off between jobs. Is there a limit that can only take 1 or 2 weeks between my end date and start date? The new job would be applying for my H1b transfer and I’d only leave once my transfer is approved.

If you quit after your new H1b is approved, you are good. There should be no legal risks that way. you can just simply negotiate a start date for your new job to get yourself some days off. Hope that helps!

The only app I found was KuCoin. 2nd i.e. is the whole Luna thing, ppl say invest in the next 2.0 or wait for some new symbol. I’m so confused on this part.

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
