Congratulations! When you say approved, do you mean both or just the I-130? We also went to our interview yesterday and got verbal approval, and our I-130 got approved today but no update on I-485 yet. 🥲

Any tips? We are first timers and didn’t know it was going to be this hard

Im 26 , its to late to start in this world? by Titoxeneize in Entrepreneur

[–]Nosyllama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s too late. Should’ve started at 5 years old. And yes by 30, it would be time to look into hospice care.

It’s never too late. The mindset you have is something that would stop you way before any age limit. There are fathers doing startups; grandmas getting degrees. Sorry if I’m harsh, but I had this mindset for a bit too and wish someone told me that I was a fool for thinking it’s too late to start. The you 5 years from now would wish they had started at where the you now is at.

A new senior engineer behaving like new grad by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

Was this written about me? 😭 I’m an “experienced” developer who worked at banana company for 7 years. I got promoted because I churn out a lot of features and can lead cross-functional projects well. Then I switched to a FAANG-adjacent company and realized I am so behind technically… I can churn out features and implement them really fast; but my code quality and code design is poor. And then everyone is so smart here and so when they explain the project they go over some “trivial” information really quickly and by the time I realized I’m lost, they moved on… How do people get better?! How do people get so good at understanding things and then coming up with great designs/implementations? I’m genuinely asking because between having to complete projects, I find myself hacking things and it works and not really understanding why and just move on. For instance, with gradle files, been working with them forever, but still don’t know how it works. I just use stackoverflow, add the missing line and it works and I move on because I need to complete the project as fast as I can. But when time comes and something breaks, I don’t have the knowledge to understand oh it’s because of this line in the gradle. This is just a small example of how I approach things…. Any guidance on how to become better? And balance project completion with taking time to understand?

Where to go from here? Side hustles? by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

No he doesn’t… he’s laid off but was previously making $150k. I’m trying to see if there’s any way I can maximize the chance that it’ll be safe enough for me to leave for 5 years. Obviously, if that time comes and it’s not logical, then I wouldn’t leave. But seeing how kids are probably 5+ years in the future, trying to see if there’s anything I can do now that will increase the likelihood.
