Agreed. Layoffs are inevitable during crisis.

Lol, the fear is real! Although layoffs in this sector haven't been as bad as in other industries. Not sure anyone is "safe" at this point

This is the best time to get entry-level jobs in finance. If you can land one, you’re well paid relative to other industries, you’re safe compared to mid-level folks who tend to be on the chopping block first, and you get all of the trial-by-fire experience that comes with volatile markets

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

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
