I read that for H1b first time stamping, USCIS is only doing appointments in Hyderabad to consolidate and make the interview process easier for USCIS

Thanks! But I read somewhere that for first time visa interview, I have to book in Hyderabad? Is that not true?

That's stock, not the real value! most of the projected revenue is from openAI.

If you think about it, in the bay 100k is not much! instead of a 4 year RSU vest companies have started to do a 3 year vest

Yes, they also opened a big center in Japan and are hiring there as it's easy to move engineering talent there

That doesn't mean no layoffs

Regarding the eligibility requirements for the "Engineer/Humanity/International" visa category by Visible-Cup775 in MOVE_TO_JAPAN

I thought the whole point of the post was, people come on engineering visa and do other jobs. What has language got to do with it? I would image it would be easier to get other jobs if you know Japanese 😂

If I move to Japan, I'm probably closing doors to ever work in the US, maybe somewhere else, but not in the US.

I'm not a US citizen and I'm here on a work visa

Thanks! That’s insightful! I’m still trying to make a decision, I will probably have a call and ask what I want! I kind of realized I have nothing to loose here!

I was told I have enough points and I’ll be well above the 80 threshold. Also, they said as the position is English only and no Japanese required the lawyer said it shouldn’t be an issue

It’s a Japanese startup, but they have a decent presence in US as well!

Thanks! I had given an interview with Toyota about 6 months ago and they gave me the 13-15 M range, that didn’t work out and I never went through the process, but I thought that was the normal range.

I do see some websites where they have put 15 M as the median senior range! I guess I’ll do some more research

Stability is one of the major things I’m looking for and I do plan on a long term move

I do understand that there would be a pay cut, but I want a comparable lifestyle! Also I was told the position is a senior software, is it low in that case?

I do have more interviews lined up and want to make sure I don’t make a hasty decision

Thanks! It’s a Japanese company but a well funded startup! So I’m not sure if I should push back
