I was laid off a couple of months back, started interviewing aggressively and got the VISA transfer done just on the last week of 2 month grace period. This has been traumatizing both for me and my family who depend on my VISA.

Due to this short notice, I missed Google as the hiring process couldn't be completed on time. I got Amazon offer which went into RFE during VISA transfer and ended up taking a huge pay cut from a Tier3 public company, so that I can at least maintain my VISA status.

I can't get into the firing details to not get identified, all I can say is that it was political and happened suddenly.

This is my attempt to save some pain to folks considering Netflix and are on VISA. I know the money is very attractive but considering my own experience and others I know, it is totally not worth it.
