Game night. Online team games. Call more often. Visit and plan themed dinners on Saturday nights with relevant Spotify playlist in the background. Walking on the beach early mornings, if you have one nearby.
Get addicted to a show together.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options). Coming from another healthcare company as a SFA, does anyone have experience at either company?

Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too
