Dudes better be ready to cash in on this. For a pay increase I'll jump ship again despite just getting a new role. I don't like my new co-workers anyway.

H1B visa suspension to pressure pay at Goldman Sachs, Google

Now that banks and technology firms can't bring in talented juniors from overseas on H1B immigration visas any more, the risk of bidding wars for top talent in the U.S. has increased. Banks in particular may find it necessary to put more money on the table.

The Trump administration sent a ripple through the recruitment industry in the U.S. last week when it announced that it was suspending the issuance of H1B and L-1 visas issued to immigrant workers in the U.S. for the rest of this year. For the next six months, U.S. firms will need to make do with talent they find locally.

You should invest in a Roth IRA if you don't already have one. I have a brokerage IRA if I want to play with stocks. But having a Roth IRA will come in handy when taxes skyrocket to pay for this mess.

What trading platform do you use for the brokerage IRA?

Fidelity allows me to roll money into a my brokerage IRA. I only buy individual stocks with it I plan to keep long term.

I don't mess around trying to pump and dump stocks anymore. If I want to gamble I'll bet on sports instead.

Self learning is THE worst. My attention span is on 3...out of 100 though. I need a new plan anyway because I read it takes like 90 days for them mfs to properly review your application and approve you to take the test. I'm going to work on that instead. You don't have to pay until the application is approved and you get a year to take the test after that.

I'm officially the treasurer for my daughter's middle school PTO. I'm very excited because I'll get to learn so much. I'm also the treasurer for a non-profit my friends and I are trying to start, so this is some good practice. I hope I do well.

@BrownSkin Intellect G. Come school me on these AWS and cloud certs? I saw your posts in the BMW services thread. Just curious as I have some free time and I've been loading up on personal development work.

Ya so you can start with youtube or even Udemy.
I already have a technical backgroud so i'm starting with Udemy with specific classes
I come from an on-prem background and I know cloud but not like hands-on well.
Cloud is not very difficult but there is ALOT of material.
Because Cloud tries to bring all the business to cloud so it has many many things you can do and has so many tools that you need to know.

As someone who dealt with on-premise datacenter for a while now, going into Cloud and how easy it is and less costly than on-prem makes me wonder why would any company not go to cloud right now if compliancy is not an issue.

Someone said self-training is horrible because attention span is low, same with me man.
But you still gotta do it like your grandparents did. I'm not saying they didn't have classroom trainings but they also read alot back then. We are spoiled.
I'm spoiled too, something when studying for certs im smoking weed lol.

You will get better at self-training.
If you are new to IT then cloud is absolutely the way to go.
We don't know where technology will be in ten years, but wherever it goes Cloud will be there too that's for sure.

The things you can do in cloud in minutes would take you hours or days if there was no cloud, and at a much lesser cost.

fyi, i keep saying on-prem, if you don't know on prem means on premise.
on premise means your equipment is in a building that belongs to your company, which is the opposite of cloud.
