Is anyone here on a work Visa? I am now but I was doing contract work and it's about to wrap up. I want to stay but not sure if I can extend my visa without having new work contract lined up?

Hi Fishes,🐠🐟🐬🦈🐳🐋🐡
Let's hear about your journey, how did you land in US/UK/EU/Canada etc. from India? preferably direct hire with Visa sponsorship.
Pls do share company name & country, Job portals.
Also it would be great to hear some do's and don'ts
Hopefully it will help someone who is/are planning for migration and will help him/her to plan better.
TIA

Welcome, friends! I created this community to meet others in the city during these strange times.

This will primarily serve as a safe space to meet friends. If your vibe is more on the dating end, that's fine too.

Let's be kind, inclusive, and respectful. I've already met some of you in person, looking forward to meet more folks here!

Considering leaving my agency after just a couple months in pharma - feeling underutilized and stuck.

My question: do I leave this stint off my resume entirely? List the parent agency instead of the wellness arm? Pass it off as freelance? Not trying to be dishonest I just know this experience probably isn’t relevant when going out for non-pharma jobs.

If LinkedIn and Reddit had a child, Fishbowl would be it. Or at least that’s my first impression…Hello All!

Recs for a lifechanging Acupuncturist? I’m in Encinitas but I’m willing to drive anywhere.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

Anyone know a good date option for 1st date - I’m in north county but taking out a girl who doesn’t drink on Friday night , so I don’t want to pressure her with a bar setting.
