My current employer filed for H1b extension recently. I’m switching jobs and my future employer will be filing a H1b transfer soon. Will 2 parallel applications raise any red flags?Any risk of an RFE?

In the same boat. When does your current visa expire?

It didn’t used to be an issue, but these days the RFE % is already over 30% for Q1 2019! So it’s all risky

SC2 current visa expires in May. Does it have any impact on the H1b transfer process?

KPMG1 I’m exiting to industry to a well reputed firm. Is an RFE still likely?

No issues during transfer due to extension application in process. Both can even get approved without issues unless you get RFE for some other random reason.

Perfectly normal scenario. Should not cause any issues unless there is RFE for other reasons but not related to 2 parallel applications

Thanks for the reassurance!

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
