Would really appreciate any advice and insight.
Unfortunately my job may soon be made redundant.
I've been here for almost 2 years. I asked about a severance package and they said they're not doing severance for redundant roles.
Any advice or thoughts on what to say or do?

I have never heard of any company that did not provide severance

They are not required to provide severance, but most do as it is a good appearance from an optics and reputation perspective

Not sure where you are based, but in the U.S., it is kind of at the company's discretion whether they give severance or not. Company policy or contract is the only thing that I see that will guarantee one. Sorry to hear about the possible redundancy.

Is it a smaller company? If it’s a larger one, that’s a bad look for them to not provide severance.

Best of luck in your job search. It’s a tough market to be in right now.

Sorry to hear that

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)

I need some expert advice. I have 40k in 401k and 40k cash in savings account. I moved all 401k to a very low return safe portfolio in July and basically I haven't done anything with the cash as well.

Starting to feel like I am missing out on returns and now is the time to put everything back into the market. Does anyone know reliable financial advisors that will do it for me and also account for the independence related restrictions.

Other suggestions/tools appreciated as well.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
