I'm still new to my job, and maybe my inexperience is the reason I'm taking this so hard, but what’s your worst "ghosting" horror story with a candidate who was supposed to start their shift on Monday morning?

You had someone hired and they just didn't show up for their first shift? Dang, I am sorry to hear that. I have had people message the night before their first shift and say they took another offer.

And they didn't reach out on their reasons for not showing up, that is unfair on the people who are truly in need of jobs out here. I guess you have to be used to this type of circumstances.

That sounds awful. Thankfully I've never had to deal with that, though I've seen it happen to others.

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

I’m getting into consulting but have no idea what a reasonable hourly rate would be for creative ops. Any suggestions?? I have 6+ yrs experience with Fortune 500 companies, working on the brand side and at an agency.

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
