I have H1B visa from previous company. Does anybody know the process to transfer it to PwC?

PS - Just wanted to be prepared for travel if any opportunity comes. I know it is long shot as travel is restricted.

I’ve been working in the US for 5 years. My H1-B visa interview is in 28 days in India. I’m engaged to an American, should I be mentioning that if they ask me about why I want to live in America?

I am thinking Puts for Disney, Airlines and Casinos....but they are already down 20%

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

Welcome. I am hoping to gather a group of people here who are working on eLearning Design, development and delivery. I am finishing up a Masters Certificate soon and hope to be job hunting soon.

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?
