Hey. If you want to know more about life in the US as an Indian student / worker, I used to do a podcast. Check it out here:

Why I left the US and moved back to India:
I didn't get picked in the H1B lottery and my visa expired. End of thread.

The US immigration policy needs a lot of work but I do not blame South American immigrants for it. They're also chasing the same dream.

I don't know. I can't advise as I'm neither an immigration lawyer nor an accountant. You have to talk to your bank.

The reason why you see low quality copied content is because that's what the algorithm incentivises.
Be it Twitter or Instagram, posting frequently is rewarded. Posting high quality original content consistently is not possible so this is what we're left with.

I'm at a bar and they asked us to download an app to order. Unfortunately their app cannot be installed on my phone because my phone was made for the US. My friend also has a US phone. Now we have no way to order because they don't have paper menus.

Hey, I'm the guy in the screenshot!
Not sure how much you know about the H1B process but after the lottery, the application involves a Labor Condition Application (LCA) which the employer has to submit to the Department of Labor stating the H1B employees salary. (1/2)

The new SEBI settlement rule should have an opt-out option. I'm not sure if I'll have enough funds in my Zerodha account on Monday to trade because they've been transferred to my bank account. I would have opted out. So would have most active investors.

Maybe don't take advice on job search and careers from someone who is still in college or a startup founder who has never actually been hired as an employee.

This salary declared in the LCA must be at least the prevailing wage for the job role and location. The LCA has to be displayed in the company for all other employees to see which while well-meaning is a bit humiliating. (2/2)

1. You don't have to make more money than everyone
2. You don't have to work more than you're paid for
3. You don't have to hustle, build a startup. A 9-5 is fine
4. You don't have to do X things before you're 30/40/50
5. You don't have to write essays on LinkedIn

I'm stuck at Ho Chi Minh airport en route Bali and so are many Indian travelers who booked a Vietjet flight because the flight from Mumbai got delayed by 6 hours and the connecting flight left.
There's no flight till tomorrow and Vietnam has no visa on arrival for Indians.

Not everything you do has to be an income stream ffs. You can go on vacations without any aspirations of becoming a travel vlogger. Or tweet without trying to build a personal brand. Just ... live a little.

Everyone wants to believe that they are extraordinary but by sheer probability you are more likely to be mediocre. There's nothing wrong in it. Just important to be self-aware.

Ordering calories / macros instead of food. Set up a goal and the app orders meals on your behalf from partner cloud kitchens everyday that meet that goal. The partners also deliver it.

My biased opinion is that asynchronous communication (text, email) wins over synchronous (phone calls). Maybe it's just my social anxiety but to make a phone call I have to prepare myself mentally.

Motivational gurus who write threads on hustling, following your dreams, etc have very generic advice that isn't useful. It's one thing to say "become an expert" but completely other to show what it actually looks like. People who make roadmaps slightly are more helpful.

This will end in 2 ways
1. RBI will figure this out and ban any such app because it violates their rules.
2. RBI changes it OTP requirements and this becomes unnecessary

Well the moral is if it's something that can be answered with one Google search and something one can work without for 7 years, it's not a very good measure of a candidate's eligibility

Every few years some new theory pops up on how to manage team productivity which are then discarded for supposedly better systems. There is no alternative to having good man-managers. If you build good relationships with your team, that's all you need.

I concede that the advice doesn't have to be for everyone. Eg. Threads on how to be 10x more productive is not for me. I don't want to be 10x productive. If I were to be I'd expect 10x pay.
But it's usually not helpful. It'll be "how to be 10x productive? Work hard"

Naval does not practice what he preaches. He says a bunch of "feel good" sentences that are not practical. Not even for himself.
Eg. He says one should not care to be liked or what people say yet he quickly blocks anyone at the slightest disagreement.

Can't see what's wrong about this. What level is this? Job hopping at entry level roles shouldn't be frowned upon. It takes some time to find the right fit of pay, culture, tech stack etc.

Look at that 200 followers. Sweet. I made this account to be a more "professional" one as compared to my old account. Made this specifically to get to know people in the tech startup scene in India and maybe give a different perspective to all the 24/7 hustle culture.

Haha. That is funny and sad. Yeah I was in the US when the Vegas shooting happened. I was in Texas. So the El Paso one a couple years later was also scary. It's such a unique American problem but no one wants to solve it.

What is the correlation between taking risks and being a billionaire? Someone with a million dollar inheritance going on to become a billionaire is not a product of risk.
Someone moving from their hometown to a city and selling tea is a risk taker. India has millions of them.

Needs a lot of work.
* Personal details need to go
* Education just MBA and graduation is fine (in reverse order)
* Add more details about experience
What kind of job is this for?

Please avoid using the term "influencer". It is a slur. The correct term is "content creator". Hope this helps 👍🏻

Since we're talking about hiring women in tech, Amazon had developed an AI resume screening tool but had to abandon it because it rejected women CVs disproportionately because it had learned from data of Amazon's previous hiring decisions.

Don't think INDmoney can hold your Mutual Funds. They probably start a folio with the AMC and hold MFs there. Kuvera does the same. INDmoney only provides an interface to trade and check your portfolio.

1. Showing yourself as busy instead of the meeting name
2. Checking availability of all meeting participants
3. Import / sync other calendars eg. holidays, Facebook events, IPL schedule etc.
4. Automatically adds all your flight, hotel, car rentals, movies from your email

LinkedIn's best feature was the GMail extension LinkedIn Sales Navigator where if you enter an email in the compose box, the sidebar showed the LinkedIn profile attached to it. Too bad they discontinued it.
