TL;DR - worked hard for 10 years only to loose everything in a jiffy. My mistake - I didn’t pause and think where my life was taking me. Sigh. - little over a year left on my H1-B. Yet, have a stellar resume - took a huge pay cut from a stable job to join my current company for wlb and growth. Both of which were non existent. On top, teammates are dumb and work quality is awful. Good ones left long ago. - passed on 4 offers before 💩 hit the fan for my perm processing. - GF is a citizen here but I don’t see any future with her, so I have to break up eventually - Planning to quit my job in this market with no backups, interviews or exit opportunities in sight. Life that I have built is going to turn upside down soon. Only mistake I’ve made was to be ambitious and continually chase professional goals without pausing to enjoy my life or re-evaluate my life choices. 🤦♂️
snap has wlb?
WLB and growth seem to be polar opposite in most companies I’ve worked in. I’m surprised he thought he found both!
I feel you. Similar boat. 😭
Gather up your money, come to Europe, book rooms, order food and take flights here so we don't lose our jobs.
Yeah I plan to spend a month in Italy or France after I quit or whenever I’m done with my stay here.
U.K.
Why quit if you are not laid off? You seem to be in great position with snap and they can process your GC
GC is paused. I’m fully drained rn due to wlb, relation with my manager has severed recently due to a promo discussion. So there’s no point in waiting for a year to get burned out or shown the door.
Quiet quit
Sometimes life helps you make decisions which you don’t have the courage to make but have always thought about.. now that shackles have been taken off, build a new life, with vigor, and you’ll be glad that it happened when you’ll reflect back on it 10 years from now!
Same thoughts. Thank you!
This is the best damn thing I’ve seen recently. Thanks!
Wouldn’t stall on the breakup— helps neither of you
She’s from here and can’t move back to my country. Can’t get married as we aren’t there yet. I don’t want to marry just for staying here
Sounds like you’re wasting her time though.
How does leaving on H1B correlate with resume? I am just starting off and I aspire your ambition. These are challenging times. I believe things will work out for you soon.
It doesn’t correlate. I’m just stating that I’ve chased companies without thinking about visa shit. That resume now is totally worthless in this market.
And thank you!
Similar story for PERM. Feel free to DM
