Seeing a post election bump in hiring. Got one offer and close to another one and both remote! Wife is hybrid and the good news is, she escaped layoff this time, bad news is this ties us down to Bay Area for now. My pay in a state like WA or even interior CA would have gone much farther.

Regarding garbage; there are plenty of places in India with pristine beauty you can enjoy with the networth you have made and given your leetcoding skills, you are already better than 99.99% of Indians. So you can live pretty much like a king in India, whether you want to work or not, rather than b...

Mate, I was HATED by people in the state I was born in India. I have been told to go back to where I came from in India. Its because 5 generations ago my ancestors immigrated from a BIMARU state to where I was born. I am going to be hated anyway, why stay in a pile of garbage? Better of being hated...

Most Canadians cant differentiate and dont care about who is Khalistani, who is Gujju, South Indian etc. All they see and know is, too many brown people have come in and are taking jobs, food from food banks, etc. The knee jerk reaction of Indians when criticized is to deflect the criticism on to a...

Add to all of this the situation in Canada. Canadians are calling for country caps now and Americans are taking Canada as a warning sign about what happens in the absence of country caps. Now Khalistanis are asking whites to go back to Europe as Canada belongs to them. Typical camel and Arab story....

I was shocked to read that the owner/Chairman/MD of WaghBakri chai was attacked by stray dogs, while out for a jog and died as a result of running/falling and hitting his head on a rock.. if this can happen to a multi billionaire.. we can rest our case on this menace Goes back to my point about bil...

Its because they will never get a seat at the cool kids table and they know it :) Trump getting elected is like Laloo or Yogi getting elected - does one cheer it or feel embarrassed by it? I ...

What is the current wait time to get GC for someone who gets H1B first time in 2024? I see some report saying 100+ years. Is it really taking this long?

Yes it is. Simply divide the number of Indians in line by the number of GCs given to Indians annually, you get a number that is 100+

So, T would dangle the carrot of immediate GC for grad students from abroad, I have heard this line from Romney in 2012 too. Nothing happened when Rs took all 3 chambers after that. Heard it from Dems, nothing happened when Ds took all 3 chambers. Besides, Trump team immediately rolled back on this...
