Looking to buy 35K marriott bonvoy points. Let me know if anyone’s willing to sell?

How do you best leverage a job offer when you don’t want to leave? In the running for a VP job (higher level than now) that pays $70k higher than what I currently make. I want to ask for more money, but don’t want them to see me as a flight risk or that I am not loyal anymore. Or my bigger fear is they’ll say they cannot offer me any more and then I feel like I have egg on my face. Any tips for delicately balancing this?

Can I have two separate employers file for h1b and only join the one I get picked at?

Hi
Any one working in Wipro for UHG - United Health Group client. How is the work environment and technology stack. I might join there as a Architect at C1 band.

Turned away from my weekly hotel at midnight bc they can’t find my res and are sold out. Res w/ conf number actively shows in Bonvoy app, they can’t figure out issue. Platinum elite. How many points?

What's your experience working with United Way?

Working on buying a home. Got great rates with a lender. While signing, noticed that I was marked as a Permanent Resident Alien. I'm on H1B.

If I tell my lender that I'm a non-Permanent Resident Alien, would there be any issues vis a vis rates? or actual approval?

I have 3 more years left on my visa and I have very good credit history over the past 6 years

I believe most members of this group are tense & anxious owing to the uncertainty surrounding H1b. Can we have members post some positive stories here ? Cases of extension/transfer approval( w/wo RFE)

Hello All, My employer doesn’t seem to be sharing i140 approval notice. I need it for H1b transfer to new employer.
Anyone faced similar situation and got a copy from USCIS directly? How long it takes and process for it please?

Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

Does anyone own a scooter for getting around the city? Looking for suggestions for a scooter to get to and from places like the office or the gym that are easy to fold up / travel with.

Would it be practical to look for an apartment 10-15 kms away if the office location is Marathahalli?
Location of choice would be hebbal, thanisandra, avalahalli and other similar ones.
Would it make sense to reside in such locations and travel to work?
Would like to hear from folk who are/have done the above?

Once I get my H1B issued, how soon can I apply for a greencard and how long does the process take from application to receipt of the greencard? For reference, I’m born Canadian (I think birth country plays a factor in this?) and is it better to apply through my employer or apply on my own?

Weekly reminder that I hate my job and I’m only still here for a green card

Hello, we've recently started a community focused on FAANG Interview preps. Wondering what kind of content people might be interested to see in such communities.

If I take a job at Amazon in India, is it considered as prestigious to FAANG companies as Amazon in Silicon Valley?

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
