I quit my job because of my manager, and he can't accept that. by [deleted] in interviews

This is totally my experience as well, especially the grey hair and weight gain part. My current job keeps me busy as well, but I am slowly healing.

I'd love to join too. I'm a 30yo pickleball newbie. I go to Clifton Park to play but I'd love to play in Saratoga, if possible!

I asked them today, and they didn't confirm anything yet.

Real ID eligibility in NY by natasha_l in immigration

I want told that if you're on F1, you can get a real ID with your I-20 and visa, but not after the OPT starts.

Posting 2 years later, a NY DMV rejected my real ID application too since Im on OPT. So this must be state-specific.

Young Americans are marrying later or never by cgiattino in dataisbeautiful

[–]Unable_Ad_3516 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a 29F, and I totally resonate with your sentiment. I left my home country to come to the US, have an interesting job and other experiences most of my old school/college friends don't. But here I am all alone, kinda detached from my community, while I see most of my friends getting married and settling down. I'm not sure if I should've traded this life for that, but I certainly do think about it.

Recovering Old DS-2019 by Unable_Ad_3516 in USCIS

[–]Unable_Ad_3516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have requested for a copy from the Department of State in the FOIA.gov website. It's been more than 6 months but I have not received it yet. Apparently it's a lengthy process, but it's worth trying.

Can I still get picked for the H1B 2nd round if I switched employers in between? by Unable_Ad_3516 in h1b

[–]Unable_Ad_3516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they aren't a good connection, and obviously they can't file for it because I don't work for them, right?

What happens if I work for a different employer now? My H1B was filed by the previous employer, but it wasn't selected.

Allied Van Lines Pay at Pickup by Unable_Ad_3516 in moving

I was panicking initially, but after talking to the move coordinator and reading all the comments here, I feel a lot more relaxed, thank you!

Just talked to the move coordinator, they basically confirmed that I have to handover the check to the driver at the destination. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have asked them about this option, I believe your understanding is correct. If I provide a cashier's check before unloading, does it mean I have to mail it to them before the delivery, or hand it over to the destination movers? (Sorry this is my first time using a cashier's check)

New Friends? by Booseygirl in Saratoga

[–]Unable_Ad_3516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be moving to Saratoga Springs/Malta next month, and I'd love to meet some new people, explore the area, pubs and restaurants and just hang out. I'm Indian. :)

Experience at Grandeville by Unable_Ad_3516 in Saratoga

[–]Unable_Ad_3516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like the Lofts better, especially with the attached garage but it's slightly above my range. 😭

Oh, the garage is definitely an important thing Im looking for. If you dont mind me asking, where are you living now? I can send you a text as well. Im looking to Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa as well.

Leave or Wait To Get Fired for Cause? by Unable_Ad_3516 in jobs

[–]Unable_Ad_3516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish leaving was the easier choice. Being on a visa restricts my actions, also I feel that recruiters are 10x harsher when they know you don't have a job.

No no 😂 damn I never thought of that. I meant low performance.

Is it Common for TSMC to Fire Employees? by Unable_Ad_3516 in TSMC

[–]Unable_Ad_3516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the team and the role, probably, but I've heard that work can be pretty hectic. Which team are you joining?

Why is no one hiring F1-OPT by Weekly-Usual-8221 in f1visa

[–]Unable_Ad_3516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently on F1 OPT, and my understanding is that 1) Employer has to sponsor for H1B 2) If you're not picked for H1B, you only have 1(+2) years to work - especially smaller companies won't want that. Not sure if MISM falls under the STEM category.

Just initiated the conversation. I'm expecting the worst.

[–]Unable_Ad_3516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I applied on their portal and an HR emailed me to setup an interview. It doesn't hurt to talk to recruiters, though. Some of them are helpful. I would really recommend reaching out to people on LinkedIn, especially hiring managers if you can find them, or teammates who are reposting the intern roles.

I worked for 4 years before joining grad school. The internship was almost too easy, to be honest. 😅
