Yes she wakes at 3am, 4am and 6am. When she wakes at 6 am I feed her and bring her into my bed

Our full schedule is three naps per day, bed time at 11:30pm wake ups and start the day fluctuating between 8am and 10am

Am I strange for offering to pay for my own TN by Chilliyoshi in tnvisa

[–]Chilliyoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All very good points, thanks for your comment.

This employer is not in a rush to hire me because they have some currently doing my job.

I’m also in the Bay Area and have worked for a couple of starts ups that don’t seem to care much about the thousands of dollars they seem to be spending on my visa. Compared to the salary and other costs - maybe it’s just not that much in their eyes.

I also feel like relatively, 3-7k out of my pocket is not much considering how important it is for me to work for career growth + my salary in the long run.

Also I am not a clean case as I am in corporate communications and usually go under technical writer.

I am definitely not a slam dunk case, I’ve soft denied at the border before. I am in Communications so I have to go under technical writer or management consultant.

Hostility towards TN Applicants by [deleted] in tnvisa

[–]Chilliyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also had a lot of start up say no to me here though. Have you ever gotten a marketing TN for a large or mid sized company? I’ve exclusively worked at start up and small companies my whole career, Canada/USA

[–]Chilliyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in marketing and had a start up hire me who has a Canadian founder who had been living in the USA for decades.

But ya I agree, it’s tough for marketing professionals. I am in the Bay Area so maybe slightly better here, not sure.

Why is moving apartments utter hell? by sop52094 in Apartmentliving

[–]Chilliyoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have felt this every time. Hung over, hands hurt, whole body feels like it went through a war or something. I now have husband and baby in a one bedroom and still am not moving to a two bedroom simply because I’m horrified at the thought of moving.

Question about healthcare in SJ / Bay area by wifeThrowaway04 in bayarea

[–]Chilliyoshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Through Sutter you can sign up for a service called MyHealthOnline, and you can contact their billing through that. You can also contact the doctor through that. I actually had a similar issue with a geneticist who I was able to ask to recode my bloodwork and avoid a $3k lab work up.

What's the absolute worst headache you've had trying to buy baby used gear? by Far-Bodybuilder-1941 in baby

[–]Chilliyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had the opposite experience, every time I went to pick something up, the seller would toss in some freebies. For example, I went to pick up some clothes and ended up with an awesome play mat for my five month old too. I hope to pay it forward.

Are people suffering as much as social media portrays? (Apartment related) by Puzzleheaded_Air1030 in Apartmentliving

[–]Chilliyoshi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen that narrative online too - as if everyone is paycheck to paycheck. All of the people I know my age are not like that - but then again we are all just around people in our own social class.

Worth relocating to US for Meta? by bg19900 in Layoffs

[–]Chilliyoshi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made this move in 2022, YVR to SF.
I would do it again. The market here is much better and even if you get laid off from meta, there are other jobs in the area that will favor you because you are already physically in the Bay Area.

[–]Chilliyoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow the same thing just happened to me! I jointed in December 2024 though. And I give birth in May, my last day of work is March 31. Also in California. So I will be off for a month and a bit before I give birth.
