What do you think will happen when all the legal immigrants leave? Does the US really have enough native workforce talent who can take on these jobs?

The Purge. Everything will be dark and the US will collapse and become a fifth world country. There will be people fighting for food and medicines. Some analysts predict the entire continent will vanish overnight.

The US economy will still be fine; in fact, other countries where the immigrant workforce migrated to will rise and could even surpass the US economy

You are just thinking about high skilled jobs. Most of the high skilled jobs can be easily outsourced. Few areas will be a challenge. The economy is strong enough to sustain a damage atleast for a while. If you think about it, the world is so connected, what you do here as a consultant, do you really need to be here to do your job? You are replaceable with offshore with the right/minimal training and the people who moved out will take that job anyway. I am immigrant on visa btw.

So so tired of always being the odd one out. My firm isn't even bad or anything I'm literally just exhausted from constant code-switching and never seeing a face like mine in the office unless they're a client. Seriously considering looking for somewhere with leadership that is significantly more diverse. I don't have any proof but I feel like my success will be firmly capped here and I'll never have a shot at making partner.

I switched recently (3 months back) with almost 200% hike but really feeling stressed out. I dont want to name the company but I feel very little belongingness here compared to other one. The pressure of standing out and getting my work highlighted is impacting my wlb.
All the time in past about 8 years, I have worked directly with customers and current role is pure dev role with no interaction with customer. I am really missing my old role but I was paid less there. Is this temprry? Your views?

Hi Guys,

Not a check-in, need some help and guidance. So I am 26 years old guy, weight is 76kgs. But I look like my weight is around 85kgs (that's what my friends told me).

I want to lose weight and fat, target is between 65-70kgs.

I was thinking to do jump rope and do some strength training at home (I have dumbbells) and eat little less.

Please advise what routine should I follow to lose weight and fat? Is jumping rope enough to achieve the target?

Thanks a lot. ❤

Is their any risk on employer doing recruitment phase for PERM before the PWD has been approved?

I would assume that if for some reason they complete recruitment and PWD comes back being higher than the wage included on recruitment that they would just restart the recruitment? Is their any other risk for me other than employer potentially having to do recruitment twice?
