Is travel from India to USA open via Emirates , Qartar for India citizens on tourist visa? Trying to book tickets for summer for my parents & I do see tickets. I know everyone recommends Air India or United in Covid times, however if things have reopened, prefer to do it thru middle eastern airlines which are much more comfortable & have fewer stops.

I am currently working on F1-OPT visa and it will expire in July 2022. I am also actively looking for new job opportunities in data science/data analytics/data engineering/business intelligence field. Can someone suggest companies that hire candidates in their last year of STEM OPT? It would be great if the company would send employees to Canada in case H1B visa is not picked in FY2023 lottery (In the year 2022).

I would be really appreciate it if I could get referrals!

Got NIE approved for my wife from Delhi embassy in 3 days. She is on H4-EAD and has a job in Networking and Infrastructure. Process for approval is straight forward and approvals are coming in fast. She has been asked to travel within 30 days window for this approved exception.
Points to note: Along with dependent they need details for primary H1B visa holder even if he is not traveling and already in US. As i work for a US bank in IT i was able to show the NIE applicability for my self as well.

Disclaimer: I know I should talk to a doctor and I’ve talked to 2. Looking for anecdotal info now. Anyone continuously testing negative even though they’re pretty sure they have Covid? I’m vaxxed and boosted and was exposed to someone for 30 min who now has Covid. I have a sore throat. Can’t imagine it’s anything other than Covid (although I spent the entire weekend outside getting cold so could be a head cold I suppose) but all 6 tests (PCR included) are negative. So weird

How’s work culture and work life balance in make my trip.

Was Laid Off without a PIP but with strong positive reviews and delivering quality work. Ashamed of how EY Leadership is throwing dirt on it's laid off employees by emphasising layoffs were "Performance Based". Mean, Stealthy and Dishonest, COVID has exposed the dirty, selfish leadership mindset. To my colleagues laid off, its the failure of the business not your caliber as professionals. Don't let this mess with your self respect and self esteem. More power to all of us.

My body goes into fight or flight mode Everytime I leave my house and also work out at the gym. It’s weird because when I work out at home, I’m ok. This is pretty new and I’m trying to control it. Has anyone experienced this?

My boyfriend who moved to NYC about a year ago is asking if our next apt can be cheaper. We have a $2.2k 1br in Chinatown b/c of a covid deal, that's totally impossible to beat now. He's a bartender, am I a huge dick if I tell him he needs to try to earn a bit more to help our rent? He pays $800 now and feels that's too high.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Has anyone taken their annual physical checkup and dentist appts after COVID started to be a thing? Or is everyone skipping this year to save it for next? Interested to hear experiences for those who went in during COVID. Thanks!

Client confidentiality question:
I do UHNW luxury good transactions. About a year ago we represented buyer and seller on a deal. Deal fell apart because the buyer was shady and actively trying to engage in illegal acts. Buyer reached out asking us to represent them in a new purchase attempt, we declined.

They found new counsel and made an offer on the same asset. The owner doesn’t wish to engage with them. Can I give the owners reasons to the new counsel without violating duty to my old client

Can any help with the salary i can ask after one year experience and any referrals please

Headed to Dreamforce - sitting in the plane… economy plus in Delta. The dude next to me is digging his booggers for the last half hour and using that filthy hand to touch stuff… ewww. He’s reading about PIO and raspberry pi etc. Not sure if his parents taught him a thing or two. Are techies in sfo this gross? I know techies are nerds but respected them for hygiene. This is at the next level for me. Also, he’s begun scratching himself… looks like a creature that hasn’t had a bath in a while… fk!!

How to deal with overdramatic indian parents? My parents get upset very easily over small things especially when it involves my wife. Btw, she genuinely respects them. Today, my mom got upset about something that happened 2 yrs ago (my wife was in India for a week for some work, and she didn't visit them as she was 3 hrs away from them). I tried talking, but it's hard to convince them to see the brighter side of things. How to deal with this situation? Shall I speak to my wife or stay out it?
