To all people getting laid off: always apply for unemployment benefits within 7 days of getting laid off. Even if you won’t need it, it’s good to have an option to stay afloat.

Dear fellow immigrant fishes! I just got a copy of i765 approval. It says it’s valid until 8/4/2024. Does this mean I don’t need work visa anymore to work?
I just got laid off, and am waiting for my i485 to get approved, and I don’t have advance parole yet.
So if this means I don’t need my new employer to file O1 visa for me, it would really help A LOT 🥹!!

‘‘‘Tis the season for the layoffs

More layoffs at chiat ny? Or just rumor mill

Would you ever rejoin a firm you were fired from? Partner I was close to at a prior firm reached out to see if I was interested in rejoining.

I don’t think I would do it, but I wanted to get other people’s thoughts.

Is the hiring slowdown over? I contacted a few firms to inquire about lateral opportunities in late June/early July and was asked to check back in the fall due to hiring freezes.

I was at my first firm (big law) for almost a year before leaving to do a 2 year clerkship. After my clerkship I went to a firm for a very short time (few months) and left because it was a terrible fit. I’ve been at my current firm for about 10 months and am about to go on maternity leave soon (will be a year with current firm). I don’t want to go back after. I’m afraid my resume is starting to look like I jump ship too much - thoughts??

It feels so good but so intimidating to be writing the performance review of someone you know will be your boss someday. I hope I can light the path they're worthy of.

Is it far fetched for me to think that there should be this unspoken loyalty between coworkers in agency life? I come from a blue collar background where we got each other 100 and from what I’ve experienced and seen, people feel or are non confrontational and passive aggressive about things they don’t like.
