Both my GF and I are SDEs (in different companies) in NY with H1B status. Her team has extremely toxic culture and lost half of engs already. She’s also preparing to jump ship to another company. But preparing interview is tough and a long process and she also has a lot of tasks from the current team. She’s unwilling to take PTO because taking PTO would make her getting behind the schedule and will likely be criticized by her boss in sprint meeting, which makes her extremely concerned. She also considered internal transfer but none of the teams seem interesting to her. She’s in a very depressed mode right now. She cannot quit the company either now due to h1b status. I try to convince her to do internal transfer first but there’s not many teams in NY in her company to make her sufficiently happy, and she’s not sure if it worths the effort to deal with the internal transfer logistics and conversations (her boss used to push other people to stay in a very aggressive manner, and her company sometimes piped people before they transferred to another team) What should we/I do
Marry her and get her h4 ead
How long does it take to get H4? Is there any risk there? Would it still be possible to convert H4 to H1B?
Pretty easy if you can get stamping overseas. And yes you can always convert back to h1

Been there, and the unfortunate truth is that you just have to power through it. Gotta get into survival mode. :(
