I was in the same boat. PM me I'll tell u what helped.
I didn’t change my job title for PERM.
Cisco filed my PERM in 2014 after 3 years of continues layoffs/reorgs starting 2011... Cisco execs and HR knows the importance of filling PERM to retain talent... No guarantees but I guess Cisco will stop all reorgs for a year and open up window to file everyone's PERM together..
I should have read this before joining!
Hi, got an offer from Thousand Eyes (Cisco) recently. With the recent layoffs (or with Cisco's annual tradition of layoffs), do you think PERM process would not be filed starting on day-90? My post: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Thousand-Eyes-Cisco-PERM-processing-QyVJK1C1
It is problem this year as well? Fuck, I am joining Cisco.
I have heard there is a little room when they can file and managers should know it and act quickly
Same boat....moving to India for good and thanking Cisco for forcing a decision on me that I never would have been able to take.
@ BKjO58 How do you feel now ?
Quit cisco. The only way out
m in same boat... hoping to jump ship... not that easy to get another employer to file asap 😪 ..... please let me know if there is an alternative.
Looks like changing title just for this is against the protocol.

Google CFO confirms 'large-scale' layoffs (Apr 17)
if you're on H1B nothing stops you from jumping ship.
H1B yes. But don't want to jump ship.
like anywhere else, relationship with manager is king. BFF with your manager and have them push your case. Unless your manager is waiting for gc, then go higher up.
