Recently left Deloitte for a startup who will sponsor my H1B, does anyone have any Chicago law firm recommendations ? Currently on OPT, Irish nationality

Doesn't the startup have immigration lawyers already or you're the first foreign worker for them?

Aah k. Dunno any Chicago based ones but you don't have to restrict yourself to just Chicago lawfirms. Most lawfirms these days have online portals to upload docs. Greg Siskind and Cyrus Mehta are pretty well known with a big presence on social media. You can also look up aila's lawyer referrals on ailalawyer.com for Chicago based lawyers and Google the lawyers to see ratings

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
