Need Urgent H1B Advise. Got laid off from PwC and 15 Mar last day. Got offers from EY and Deloitte. EY sent the H1B package last Monday and EY received an employer RFE on Friday. Continued....

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

Not sure if I am getting laid off. What are some key signs. Thanks in advance for your help?

Leaving the US after 3 tries of H1B lottery. I’m on OPT STEM, what should I NOT forget before I leave the country? Thanks!!

Can you travel out of the US while your H1B is pending approval?

Currently on STEM OPT.

Scenario: US visa expired in 2021. Applied for a Canadian tourist visa to hopefully go for H-1B stamping in Canada once they open appointments.
Biometrics completed. Haven’t received any comm regarding my tourist visa approval. My partner already revived the visa long ago even if we allied together. Could it be because my US visa has expired? The reason I gave for applying for visitor visa was just for tourism purposes.

Has Deloitte tax heard anything about layoffs yet? Just saw the news about audit

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

I got selected in the third round of H1B lottery for FY2022 (third round came out in November) Does anyone know when my H1B gets activated? Will it be automatically updated because it is well past Oct 1 or will it be Oct 1 2022??

Travel during H1B visa transfer. I'm switching jobs and I want to go to India before I start my new job. Wondering if H1B visa transfer can cause any pain because I'm out of country. Am I likely to need a new stamp?

I don’t think I’m qualified for a lot of jobs. I don’t know basic functions. How does one “fake it til you make it” in industry and not get fired?

BCG folks, I hear rumors of layoffs happening given the slow pipeline. Is it true?

As many of us navigate the challenges of negotiating during Covid layoffs, my question is what do you think is a good, fair and realistic salary for an independent agency to offer a Creative Director with 10+ years of experience in metro Detroit, considering the current economic climate?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

Hey guys, I recently had to move to India to take care of family due to COVID and cannot return as my visa was denied. So I have decided to move to Canada since I’m a permanent resident. Does anyone have any opportunities in Toronto? I’m a Sr Consultant (data analytics specialization) with 3 years of experience and 2 years of prior experience in financial analysis.

Any help is valuable!

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

If you are laid off for hours, what is a neural reason for saying that your employment ended? Especially if there is a month or two break in finding employment.

Layoff going on in Synechron ?

SO and I got in to a disagreement on the background of Indian tech CEOs. It appears that they are all from 1 or 2 major communities in India.

While he thinks that its genetics/being naturally gifted that got them to where they are I believe it's the environment & discipline that made them successful. We are not from said communities but curious to hear your thoughts on who is more accurate.
