I’ve been job hunting on Glassdoor for over three months with little success. Twice now, interviews went well until I mentioned my nationality—then the recruiter stopped responding. As a West African applicant, I’m beginning to wonder: is it truly possible to land a job here as a foreign national? Has anyone had a similar experience? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

Curious if there are any single parents that have more than 1 kid? Tempted to try for number 2 but being a single mom of more than 1 kid is scaring the $hit out of me.

Single black female. Late 30s, no kids. Is it better to practice in a smaller market that’s close to major cities, lots of professional opportunities, but no real single professional scene? OR be in a bigger pond/major city with more professional and networking opportunities, oversaturated with lawyers of color, more competition for professional opportunities, but bigger dating pool?

Are firms no longer doing this post COVID?

I'd love to get involved with and help develop/support more of the ecosystem and community on Austin's far west site.

Like it or not, the city is booming and that means sprawling. Most of the mature tech, older companies, and frankly, capital, is north and west, yet we don't have much of a home and hub for this part of town.

The old 3M campus, Nate Paul's investments there, comes to mind as a perfect spot... In time?

Who's over here with me and interested?

I’m here to do some networking since I work with companies and remote contractors around the world. I provide them with a platform to legally pay, oboard or hire teams worldwide

If this is something you are interested in, we should definitely share a short virtual coffee break. Id love to share ideas and explore strategic alliances together 🚀🤝🌍

Have you moved to Austin recently? Why? Thinking about it?
