    In many situations I just agree with people so I don’t get on someone radar

    I'd be more honest in my 1:1s with my manager if I wasn't on a visa. Btw companies know this and some exploit it too. Folks on visa can be ignored for promotions depending on where they are in their visa renewal cycles.

    It’s very difficult to start your own company while you are on H1B and have huge GC backlog. This is a major restriction for me.

    I was fearless when I was single. But now with my wife, I have to be cautious because my career can hinder with her career as well.

  • Have a green card now but I think it didn't affect me as much as most people because I'm canadian. Like worst case I got fired and moved back to Canada, not the end of the world.

    • Same applies to folks from India too but some feel like end of the world as they don’t understand how privileged they are because they have not lived anywhere but India and USA. Only those who really travelled the world can appreciate.
