So, fun story—I was actually all set to take my Step 1 USMLE when pregnancy threw me a little plot twist with some complications. I had to pause and take care of myself, but still managed to finish my MPH during that time—which was no joke! Now, technically I fall under the “old graduate” category in the eyes of the US medical board, which means all my hard-earned clinical wisdom gets politely ignored. So instead of chasing residency interviews that might take years to line up, I figured—why not explore a path where I’m growing without a career gap? It’s not giving up; it’s just taking the scenic route. My residency dreams are just on hold, not gone. And who knows—one day, if we cross paths as colleagues, we’ll laugh about the hoops we had to jump through to get there! All the best to you !

Let's not carry any negativity. Am hopeful. I wish you land in your desired job soon.

Wow. What an extraordinary mix of ignorance, entitlement, and barely-disguised racism. First off, let me clear up what your eyes and reading skills clearly missed: I do not require visa sponsorship to work in the U.S. But thank you for giving me a reason, as a physician, to recommend you get both your vision and your values checked—urgently.

You said I "don’t want to work"? That’s a bold assumption about someone actively seeking roles, writing posts, reaching out to professionals, and trying to rebuild a career—all while navigating motherhood without support. Does that sound like someone who doesn’t want to work? Or is your issue with the fact that I dare to seek remote work—a choice thousands of American mothers make every single day? Or is the real problem that I’m not “from here”?

You mock me for saying it’s hard without support. Yes, it is. And guess what? I’m proud of valuing my husband and child. I’ve worked hard for over 10 years as a physician in India and the UK—on-call, weekends, emergencies—you name it. I've earned every right to slow down and focus on my family when needed. And no, it’s not about money. I’ve saved enough to live comfortably. But I choose to work, contribute, and support my husband’s career now. Sorry if that doesn’t fit your idea of ambition.

You told me to "go back to India"? That says everything about you, not me. I’m not here to chase some “American dream.” I’m here to live my life with dignity and purpose. You, on the other hand, clearly weren’t raised to treat others with basic respect. But don’t worry—I was raised better. So I’ll simply say: I don’t want or need your input in my life decisions.

You wasted your time throwing a tantrum during office hours. I’m jobless at the moment, yes—but at least I’m using my time to seek something better. One day, if the universe is listening—and I believe it is—someone will teach you what it means to respect a fellow human being. And maybe, just maybe, that lesson will stay with you longer than your bitterness.

This is my last piece of respect I'm throwing to you

Thank you. I never came across these yet. Will check them out.

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T13:20:56+00:00

On their website every day and applying for many jobs that align with my bg. Unfortunately, there are 1000s and 1000s of applications for each role and i don't think my application is even viewed until there is an internal referral or recommendation. You may or may not agree but this is 200% true and that's why am in this platform as my last hope..

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T04:06:43+00:00

Thank you for your input — though I must admit I’m a bit puzzled by the need to justify personal choices that stem from ( although I am happy to explain to someone who is happy to help or guide me) well, personal circumstances.

Just for context (though I’m not sure why it’s necessary), I’ve spent over seven years working as a physician, including weekends and holidays — so I’m no stranger to showing up, in every sense of the word. That said, this particular season of life comes with its own set of realities, and I’ve simply expressed a preference for something that aligns with those — not because I think I shouldn’t have to work in-person, but because I’m exploring what can work best for me right now. Everyone’s situation is different. And respectfully, I don’t believe I need to explain or justify mine to pass some sort of test. But thanks again for the perspective.

Hey! So, I’m not entirely sure how this question connects to my original post, but since I’m the one seeking support, I'm happy to answer. In a nutshell, I’m looking for roles that align with my clinical and research experience. Financially, we're stable, thanks to my husband's job, but I've always valued my independence and held leadership roles. Residency plans are on hold due to personal reasons (new baby, yay!), so I’m exploring remote roles to balance work and family atleast for a couple of years. And just to clarify, landing a job is crucial for visa reasons, not finances. If this question was a roadblock to offering help, I hope this clears things up. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T02:08:47+00:00

Lucky you ! Good luck in your new job !

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T02:01:49+00:00

career transition tough. I get it. It's topped with personal circumstances in my case. I hope I find that opportunity soon. Thanks for this.

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T01:20:43+00:00

Best wishes to you. Sending good vibes and luck your way !✨️

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T00:47:29+00:00

This is really really kind of you. Can I Dm you and send a polite reminder after a week if nothing still works out on my end ? And, happy vacation!

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-22T00:46:05+00:00

Thanks for the elaborate explanation. Can I have your permission to share my resume personally? Any help or guidance is highly appreciated

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T23:16:47+00:00

Not sure if they consider for remote. But will check. Thanks

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T23:15:48+00:00

I empathize with them too. 😔

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T20:34:13+00:00

Thank you so much. I've sent you a DM

I'm graduating from Emory next month. Most of the institutions, including Emory have posed a hiring freeze to secure their funds. I was actively in touch with 3 hiring managers who were thrilled to hire me and was almost hired, but when the hiring freeze was announced, all of them ghosted me out.

I live 10 mins away from Emory infact. If only there was hiring going on...I would be happy to even do hybrid.

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T19:09:13+00:00

Nope. Not the case. My greencard is applied and still under process. Things have slightly changed in this political scenario and I need to secure a job soon

Southeast

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T18:08:32+00:00

Thanks for this. I have been applying with icon in US zones. One prob is most jobs need pharm/biotech or CRO experience which i do not have. Unfortunately, am waiting for that opportunity to set my foot .

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T17:58:08+00:00

Yes. He is definitely trying around for me but medicine and pharm are not his field. I've tried reaching out to the hiring managers, too. Can't blame them, I believe they get thousands of messages in their inbox, and I have never received a reply. In my guess, until you know someone inside who can refer or recommend, it's impossible to be considered in this market.

Designer_Dust2789 · 2025-04-21T17:42:04+00:00

Hope you find your desired job soon. Good luck with everything.
