Popular Post Undilaemanchikalam Posted February 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16 Na friend circle lo most of them came to US 15+ years ago. None of them received green card and all of them has 2014-2016 priority dates. As time progressed most of us progressed including me to senior manager to senior director roles. E last 5 years lo most of them bought good single family homes and some 1-3 investment homes too, some got appreciated and some got depreciated. Some were able to get good returns in stock market and some lost almost $100 to 200k. Everyone took it maturely and handled losses or gains equally and we never had concerns about finding new roles due to technical and leadership skills. Idhi kakapothe inkoti annatu unde.. But in the last 3 months I am noticing this. 1. anxiety for everyone is increased. 2. Every one including me has become low energy, impatient and health being impacted 3. fear of loosing job is increasing due to the instability. Evarni adigina oka 3 months okay, 6 months okay antunaru kani nobody is saying we are okay for this year or next year. Full time has become more like contracting 4. concern about can we get a new role in 60 days since all of them are in leadership roles and getting jobs in leadership roles is time taking and most of them do not offer h1 transfer. Finding contract roles is difficult because of the leadership roles experience in last 5 years. 5. fear about losses or difficulties in selling primary home and investment homes if we have to go back 6. thinking about kids future living in India or US is a personal Personal choice but the problem here is 60 days rule is making everyone anxious and stressed. LinkedIn open cheyali antae bayam veysthundhi, too many people in market and since we are in leadership roles we get atleast 2-3 requests each week asking for any open roles. Every weekend idhae discussion from past 10 to 12 weeks. Everyone is tired, and stressed, coz it took long to built this career and thought this is the place where we can raise our kids, we expand our careers, we made good friends and relationships but day by day it’s getting worst reading social media or news about how unstable place US has become. Just wondering how are you handling it? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vancouver_June24 Posted February 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16 With more students graduating, next gen ABCDs, native students and citizens with tech knowledge increasing and no. of jobs decreasing every year it is only going to become more harder. Better to have flexible mind(to settle here or India) unless you have a GC and stop thinking about things which are out of your hands and focus on your skillset/money generating things. I am in the same boat came to US in 2007 and PD 2015 ending No hopes of GC Thumb rule - Never have a mindset of settling down here unless you have a GC(better to prepare kids accordingly) 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmJU72 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 This is the new normal. We have to get used to it and make plans for it anthey 🙁. I am not in the same boat right now, but I considered these when I was...most investments in stocks and investment homes so they can be managed from India as well. Even primary home can be rented or sold if need - depending on rent to mortgage ratio. Kids can adapt anywhere and in fact have a better social life in India. We too will have a better social life in India. Have enough to last 2 years in India without job. We can then get a 40-50L job in India at a minimum(hopefully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayya.. everyone has 6 to 12 months of emergency available, moreover severance and RSUs can help them to survive another 6 to 12 months. Problem is not about money, it is about how to find a role in 60 days, and the pressure about the investments made here and kids education. If we have to go back we have to go by choice not as a failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney_Stinson Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 all depends on how you take , low energy might be due to aging and those energy levels fall down over time, kids are a reason too you can only control what you can rest just take as it comes but be cautiously optimistic take the mental fear factor out , focus on health refer to old age come back stories in life and absorb some inspiration that could be moulded to positive spirits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think if 60 days rule can be changed to 180 days, then lot of stress will be relieved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
