Yeah you have to pay for broker.. but still don't think it will work as it will be months away. So unless your organization wants to do a blanket B1 approval , it won't work out . Also willneed invite letter etc and very difficult to manager business visa .

These days there is a huge backlog due to Covid. When I got mine in 2019, I went from application to interview to visa within 10 days

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

I have resigned from my new organisation in 1 week as i don't like the project and i don't want to continue anymore in that company(bura lag raha bhai) .HR is saying we will look for other opportunities like that but i can't work there anymore. how to tell hrbp that relieve me asap as work didn't started yet as i don't want serve 1 month notice and if they relive me early will I get salary and pf account gets created?

Just left the job and the previous company announced hike today 😖(Just 15 days after me leaving the job). Feeling at loss. But they have said they will give it after 3 months to their employees. . I hope the package I have got will be higher than what the hike will bring to them.
