If you are an H-1B visa holder and were impacted in the recent tech layoffs there’s help available. Shruti Anand and I are creating a database of those who have been affected by layoffs and have sixty days to find another job. This can be an unnerving time and we want to lend a helping hand. We will amplify all requests within our network and share with recruiters/hiring managers we know. Please provide your information to us via this form - https://lnkd.in/gp4KgUcs We are in this together and we will make it through these hard times. Folks who were not impacted please repost this post (or comment for wider reach) so we can reach those who might need our help. This list has some open engineering and product management roles for candidates who might want to apply - https://lnkd.in/gKDZEfKj Thanks to Shreyas Doshi for sharing this. Update (December 12, 22): we have 600+ resumes in our database and 100+ recruiters looking to hire. Pranav Parashar and Manas Bam have helped create a keyword based search app for all hiring managers to access the database easily. https://lnkd.in/gnrczEWd is now live. Thanks for putting this together Manas Bam and Pranav Parashar 👍. Update (November 8, 22): In less than two days we have received hundreds of resumes. These profiles span across software engineers, engineering managers, data scientists, product managers, program managers and some business/finance analysts. We’ve shared the database with hiring managers with relevant positions who have the ability to sponsor work in the United States across companies like Apple Workday Cisco VMware Walmart JPMorgan Chase & Co. Pure Storage Sigma Computing (hiring!) Veeva Systems Dollar General and many many more. What started as an effort to help a few folks within our small network has grown in to something we weren’t expecting. The overwhelming response from the community to help shows that there is some light in this period of gloom. What we’ll keep doing : reach out to more folks in our network to match open roles to applicants. What we need to do next: more formal outreach to applicants to see if they have been receiving any inbound interest and ensure that they do. What we need from you: Share this information with anyone who needs it. If you or your team is hiring please consider these candidates and reach out to me or Shruti Anand with your work email address via LinkedIn DM Please refrain from adding your information to the list if you were not laid off, aren’t on an H1-B or F1-OPT, have more than 100 days to find a job, or reside outside of the United States. We are checking the authenticity of applications frequently. #layoffs #community #payingitforward #h1-b #techlayoffs #inthistogether #hiring #job #share #help #network #recruiters #stripe #twitter #lyft
