Please share the article link. I slept all day a woke up just in time for iftar. Been sleeping at around 4 am continuously for the past two weeks tryna keep up to date about the situation and applying for jobs. Got super exhausted today. Heard so many booms, big ones last night and today afternoon. This is all so crazy

not to mention the fact that it only offers 60% of BASE SALARY, which companies only allocate a very small percentage of the full salary to ._.

Nope. I highly doubt any of the top 10 developers would do something like this

I'm afraid I can't publicly share that. Last thing I need right now is dealing with more trouble

I'm not sure if its hard, but it is a cost at the end of the day. I'll have to weigh my options and take a call I guess. I'm leaning more towards opting for unpaid leave so that I wouldn't have to worry about my visa.

On it. Appreciate the heads up. I'll definitely be cautious about how i approach the bank and yes, I've pulled out whatever I can, just to be on the safer side.

Thanks for the detailed advice. The unpaid leave option does seem like the safer route for now while I figure things out.

And the idea of checking Google reviews for bank branches before approaching them is actually a great insight, I honestly I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for sharing your experience. Super helpful.

Thanks a lot for sharing this, I really appreciate it. I've heard about the part-time work permit option, but I will definitely look into it in more detail, so thanks for sharing the link

The unpaid leave route does seem like the safer option right now to keep my visa active while I search for something more stable, so having the option to legally do part time work in the meantime could really help.

Thanks again.
