Left Bain for an offer at a small tech company, and it took the new employer a month of pushing my start date, poor communication, and “internal discussion” to pull the offer because they think my US work visa is too risky for them, despite immigration lawyers backing me saying there’s virtually no risk. I’m now out of a job and on my visa grace period due to their incompetence (bullet dodged).

Any advice on potential actions besides jumping back into recruiting? Feeling quite disrespected 😫

Looking for recommendations to generally upskill my Strategy work (or learn from scratch) — be it courses, classes, books, podcasts, people to follow.

For context, I’m a freelance Social Media Manager/Strategist and I came into Ad world via Startups. Throwing myself into learning on the job with more Strategy gigs - but I still don’t feel like I quite know the lingo or best practices or theories.

Hi folks,

Need an advice from you guys. I joined TCS Kolkata as a BPS employee in 2014 and currently I'm in a Finance project working as a Senior Analyst. I have always wanted to be a developer so recently I acquired the knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript and Angular. So can I apply for the same in other companies? Or they only want freshers in this segment? As my overall experience is 7+ years but will I be treated as a fresher if I apply for the same?

Want to get everyone's thoughts on a trend I'm seeing lately. Not yet at my own company but with people close to me.

I'm sure we've all seen the uptick in companies asking their employees to come in to the office more often.

Given the economic environment, does anyone feel that companies are doing the Musk thing: mandatory office attendence to cloak a need for a workforce reduction? Like coaching people out so you don't have to fire them and be the bad guy essentially.
