What about changing jobs on H1? Is that too hard on you, shiven? Getting up and leaving for work in traffic to the same place everyday - does that bother you too?!
- shiven 13y agoWanna offer me one? Perhaps you live in a part of the universe blessed with a cornucopia of jobs offers. I do not. Snark aside, did you know losing your "new" job while on an H-1B means getting kicked out of the US within 15 days? Not a very comforting thought now, is it?
- blinkingled 13y agoInconvenience and slavery are two different things. H1B isn't very convenient to the employees and it could certainly get better but calling it slavery is going too far.
- shiven 13y agoSure, lets not call it slavery. Lets call it what it is: Bonded Labor. Not merely an inconvenience either. Capisce?
- jacalata 13y agoChanging jobs on a H1B is certainly an extra hurdle. I'm on an E3 and am pretty much only willing to consider Amazon/Facebook sized companies that I know will be able to handle visa issues for me. I do know people who've moved to a startup or smaller company but they spent a lot of their own time and money dealing with immigration, which I'm not very interested in. And if you are applying for a greencard while on the H1B then I believe* that changing jobs at the wrong point in the process can reset/invalidate your current application, setting you back years in the process. I can't speak for shiven but I know I hate mornings and traffic too, yea. *I'm not actually doing this myself, I'm basing this off of friends experiences
