Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Husband tested positive for COVID while on a business trip this week. He’s coming home tomorrow and I’m terrified of catching it (am 31 weeks pregnant.) I am vaccinated and boosted.

We have a relatively large house so I’ve prepared a guest bedroom where he’s going to continue to quarantine but any other tips on staying safe that worked for you if someone tested positive in your house when someone test positive?

Moms, my baby is 6 days old and all day today all he did was sleep and eat and go back go sleep right away. While this is great cause I get to relax, I am worried he may be sick or something and thats why he is falling back to sleep again and again? Any guidance will be great! FTM here

Qq friends...my i539 was filed for dependents and only got approved for wife and not for minor kid, reason they gave you didn’t appear for biometrics when they clearly said it’s not required for (cont

So I just found out I’m pregnant and yesterday was my last day at my old agency. I’m starting at a new agency in a week. Talk about timing! At this point we’re not planning on telling anyone until 13 week mark. Not sure what I should tell my new job. Now I’m concerned I may not be eligible for maternity benefits since it won’t be a year when this baby comes. My head is reeling.

What’s the process of transferring from H1B to H4 with EAD? Just preparing in case spouse’s H1B extension gets denied.

SO beyond frustrated with my work environment I think it may be time to leave for good. I returned from maternity leave after 4 years of working at my very old-school, boys club, nepotism-friendly company. The number of remarks I got on my appearance, my pregnancy and etc was a little annoying before I left, but since I've come back it's been nothing but comments on how they can't believe I'm leaving my husband home with the baby etc. Sorry for the long post just needed to vent!!

Just mailed in my medical (in response to an RFE) to reach the San Antonio field center tomorrow. Green card application (ROW, filed Feb 2021) had already been transferred to an NBC for processing. Anyone went through something similar and can advise on ETA? 🙏🏼

Hello All anyone know about company “Reply” in London,UK?
I need to understand paternity leave over there.

Does anyone have a good reading and reading response lesson for an LLD classroom? I have a demo lesson and special education is new to me. Thanks!

For those that are Chinese citizens but are on work visa in the US, have you been able to successfully work remotely while physically in China? Is there anything you should be aware when doing that?

Not a student… yet, but hope you can help. I’m in healthcare administration (executive assistant) and want a career change, moving into nursing. It looks like LVN is the fastest path (12-month program at my local community college), then continue education for a BSN while working as an LVN. I’m a single parent of a young child so I’m trying to minimize the time I won’t be able to work full time due to school and also ensure I’ll have a livable wage upon completion. Thank you in advance!

For those of y’all that are having FOMO on MGNI check out ACUIF. Serious upside. It’s literally a baby TTD

I know that Premium Processing for H1B transfer is 15 calendar days. But how long does it usually take to get it filed (i.e immigration lawyer review, getting LCA, etc.)?

Hey guys,
I got a civil fine for having an open drink in public in NYC.
Would that affect my green card application ?

Did anyone freak out once they found out they were expecting? We've been talking about having another for ages and have planned for a lot of specifics, but now that it's happened I'm simultaneously super excited and anxious about how my job will react, how my daughter will react, and how another kid will fit into our lives. Tell me it's just the hormones?

How can I help a parent with depression/anxiety get help while not making them feel worse?

Aging parents - any book recommendations to help me learn about supporting and helping a parent cope with cognitive decline, dementia, going to assisted living, aging anxiety, and related issues, etc?

I want to know the job security in the Siemens

Anyone have their client turn worse or even better due to COVID? How did it happen?

Hello! Selling my 2019 Apple iMac with 3.0GHz Intel Core i5 (27 inch Retina 5K Display, 8GB RAM, 1TB). Let me know who’s interested. Cleaned to factory settings comes with wired mouse and keyboard. Can ship anywhere. Used lightly.

Trying to get a sense of what typical hours are like at different consulting firms in Dubai. Want to see what time you start and close each day, if you get breaks besides lunch and dinner, early closing on Fridays, etc. Is it vastly different at different levels within your companies? Any insight is appreciated 🙏

I have a few commercial real estate loans which are fixed rate for 5 years on a 20 year amortization schedule.
My lenders assure me that at the end of each 5 years, I can get another similar loan with the prevailing rates.
The problem is that I would be on the first 5 years of a 20 year amortization schedule every time- which means that I’d be paying mostly interest. It would take forever to pay off this mortgage.
What is the general strategy here? ( continued below)

Has anyone had an FPD week? Do you just basically do nothing all day or do you get crushed with BD work?

Anyone work at Cooper University Healthcare? I’ve been trying to find reviews regarding what the work/life balance is, as well as the overall work environment.

140K including OTE in mid market sales.

I'm a TC-II at Deloitte and I got an offer from PwC for a similar Tax Associate 2 role. The pay gap is not much just a 19% upgrade.
Could someone from PWC please tell me if it's a good idea to join PWC SDC Banglore for US Tax?

EY fish, how does the $60 phone bill subsidy work? Does $60 get added to paycheck? Or does EY reimburse based on submitted receipts?

Any lessons learned to share when looking for jobs abroad? Like looking for jobs in Europe while in NYC currently

We're always looking for new ways to make things easier for our customers and clients, but sometimes I just want to take a step back and breathe.

Without using a year or a number of years, tell us how long you've been in social.

Hi Fishes,

Is there any language barrier for DSA or technical questions in Maang companies like I am working in C# only from last 4.5 years?

How do you set up your classroom? What can you tell me about how often you use instruments? What do you do to make them accessible? Thanks so much.

What are some VERY SIMPLE yet engaging activities (that don’t involve paper and pencil) that you use on the first days of general music? I teach 4th and 5th grade.

So how are you planing to do mallet work this year with disinfecting in between kids, classes, etc?

Hi can you advertise here? I teach private piano-flute and violin lessons online

If anyone needs awesome, fun music activities, search Vincent Bates on youtube. He's a music education professor and has his music education students play music games so we can learn, too!

How often and for how long do you see your kids?

Hey! I’m planning to take an Orff Level 1 course this summer. Any tips, tricks, or advice as I prepare? Also, what other trainings would you recommend for elementary general music teachers? Thanks in advance!

What are some of your favortie end of year activities?

Did anyone else’s back-to-school plan not include music at all? I’ve been told I’m still supposed to teach music this year, but they haven’t announced any plans for it yet. You’d think the classes that contain the most students per day would be a higher concern 🙃

Any advice for how to get tarnish off of glockenspiel bars?

Out of curiosity, how do you all feel about the “haha, recorder is a joke” jab from other teachers? While I enjoy a good laugh, it kind of bothers me coming from non-music teachers.

I have a hand full of k-5 students who have gone the first half of the school year without music because of remote learning. Our district is moving to 100% traditional teaching after the MLK holiday. Any suggestions for reintroducing concepts to the group of students that’ll be joining us f2f for music the first time this school year?

How are you preparing your music classroom for long term shut down?
I put small stuff away. Covered all shelves, floor drums, Orff instruments with sheets to deter dust accumulation.
