Leaving the US for good. Want to retain 401k and some portion of salary and bonus here in the US just as investment. What is the best way to do that in the absence of ssn, l1a visa, mobile number?

Are you really a principal?

funny

huh?!

As far as i know, you’ll always have that ssn. Keep everything tied to your name and in USD. For address, use family/friend you trust. That way you can pay your taxes after you’re gone. Also you can invent in US markets if you feel like.

Opened HSBC international account - moved all my money to that, they don’t need a local address. Opened a wealth account with HSBC to invest the money. Activated google voice so that I can get otp on email for my 401k and retained my 401k. Surrendered all my cards and closed other bank accounts. Credit score got impacted a bit but not sure if I am coming back. You also invest the money in dollars in Indian account which we understood later.

*you can also keep money in dollars in India bank account but we got to know about it later.

Why are you leaving?

We want to be closer to home, some personal reasons, did not this right visa restrictions. it didnt feel worth it.

What did you end up deciding OP? In the same boat so curious

Ohh ok that is helpful. Thank you! I may do the $ in Indian account part. For HSBC, did you keep your money in $ or convert to INR? What service did you use to convert given that this is a larger amount than most websites allow

I moved it in dollars from bofa to hsbc. Just did bank transfer. I didn’t have a lot of money it was under 100k so just transferred.

So to give some background, I currently have about 6-7 YOE in the BA/PM space, and my current position is 100k, with 10k annual bonus. The position I hold is as a Senior Business Analyst at the company I'm currently at.

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary.

Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager?

Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
