I’m on H1B and have mutual fund investments. Can I leave those investments as is if I leave the country? Will these investments be seized?

Is it true that a random product company fares much better for h1b approvals (both initial and extension) than consulting firms with tons of applications and amendments?

Does anyone know if Deloitte is still filling green card applications for audit? I looked up on Dnet and seems like it’s paused for advisory, but just wanted to confirm. Also, how can I start this conversation with a partner to obtain sponsorship approval? I don’t think any of the partners I worked with is familiar with the process, so I’m lost with how to initiate this convo. Lastly, I know this varies case by case, but how long does it typically take from initiating the app to rec the card? TY

Not a immigration question but figured, folks who are in the same boat might be able to answer. The COVID vaccine will be free regardless of whether one has health insurance or not. Is this true for parents of legal immigrants visiting from outside the USA? Mom (sr citizen) is planning a visit and wondering if she is even eligible to get the vaccine? If so, what kind of documentation would be needed? PS: Travel insurance won't cover the vaccine and I'm willing to pay out of pocket if need be.

I have few visa (L1/H1) related questions. Can someone please recommend me a good immigration attorney with reasonable fees. For consultation only. Thanks in advance.

Are consulting firms (non-tech) still hiring H1B holders? I applied to strategy& at pwc through a referral link and my rejection letter came in under 12 hours. It’s so quick that I can’t tell if it’s cuz of my qualifications or because of my visa status.

Has EY law initiated H1B filing?

I've been a mid-level AD for just over 3 years now. I'm not pushing to be promoted yet because I know I still have things to learn, but I'm also right on that cusp so I am definitely thinking about it. I'm interviewing at shops, and I want to ask about goals for a mid who wants to become a senior, but I'm worried about coming across title hungry if I do. CDs/ECDs, would it turn you off if someone in my position were to ask a question like this?

I am an insurance defense attorney (working mom) looking for a new gig. Majority of my career has been Workers’ Compensation (both claimant and defense work). The job I am in currently is primarily civil defense (not work comp). I have had few interviews and have several more lined up. Any insights? What kind of job do you have and why do you like it or dislike it? (see comments for my options.)

Just received an offer letter from a tech company based in CA. Only a “background investigation and reference checks” are listed as the contingent portion of the offer, nothing about testing. Does anyone know if they are required to explicitly say whether or not they drug test in an offer letter? Genuinely curious especially with Covid right now and the last place I want to be at is a clinic.

Serious q: I'm choosing between a two BI/Ops type roles, one in a FAANG in Dublin, one in a less-known corporate in London (where I'm currently based). FAANG pays 70% more and is a more interesting / more senior role, but I'd prefer staying in London where all my friends are / where it's warmer and sunnier. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take the FAANG role, but has anyone else struggled with this type of career vs. personal life trade-off, and how did you reason about it?

Do multiple referrals help or no difference for Microsoft? Have 4 friends there, but not sure if 4 referrals makes a difference over 1. One of them works in the org I’m interested in so would their referral be best or doesn’t matter?

Job search questions: Any experience contacting law firm lateral recruiters or hiring managers (if exist) for informational interviews or chat that led to actual interviews? How do you frame your email/request to connect with them (LinkedIn a better route)?

Looking to move out to nj with a baby coming... any recommendations on which town has relatively easy transit to the grand central area? Thank you

This could realistically be cross-posted with the Exit Opportunities bowl... Anybody here have experience working in / making the jump to the watch industry? How do you find out what types of roles are available? Having trouble figuring out where to really start. Coming from federal “consulting,” only a few YOE total. Thinking it might be time to actually start working in a job I find interesting 🤪

How do implement covid precautions with Nanny/babysitters/housekeepers? We hired a nanny 2 weeks ago, however we learned that we were exposed to covid on day 3, thru the nanny.

I'm considering bringing on another nanny but would love to hear what precautions you take. Thanks!!
