I thought I had it all……….. I feel so pathetic writing this blog right now. Let me tell you my story. I was one of the very few people who had a job lined up before graduation in my college. Man, had I ever got so many appraisals in my life? The company not only offered me generous compensation but was also willing to sponsor my H1B visa. I felt like I was living my dream life. I called my parents at 3:00 am in the morning to give them the good news. I could not wait until morning. I am a spendthrift by nature. After I got the offer, I swiped my credit card even more often than ever thinking that I will pay it off once I get my handsome salary. My professors were so proud of me…I could just see it in their eyes…my juniors in college looked upto me and asked me how I did it. I was flying in the air. But wait a minute! Guess what happened last week? The company called me (I was on a vacation with my boyfriend) and took the damn offer back…wanna know why? Coz the damn quota for H1B has been filled for this year. I was numb for a moment when I got this news. That was one of the worst moments of my life. I don’t know how to feel. Apparently, I was just a number for them in their payroll. I was crushed. It took me a while to get over it. I so much wished this to be a bad dream. I could not believe this for a day or two. I was spending money like crazy buying business attire…matching shoes, matching accessories….dreaming about how I want my new apartment look like. Who knew pain was so close to pleasure? I didn’t realize I just had the offer not the contract. Some suggested me to take the company to the court. But where are my proofs? Spending money on high-heels? Eating at fine dining? Joy, I could hear in my parent’s voice? Pride, I can see in my professors eyes? I had two options. To swipe my credit card to hire a lawyer or to start looking for a new job. I chose the latter one. I was browsing Hi5 and Facebook earlier,….felt frustrated. Everyone seems to have it all. I feel like a loser having said that. Seriously, girls in the Hi appear to be slimmer, more successful (working for Fortune 500) and they all seem like they are having so much fun in the pictures. Am I envious? What do you think? They really looked like they have it all….but do they? I have to rise again. I don’t want people to look at me with sympathy. Enough is enough. I was a great believer of “everything happens for goodâ€â€¦.now it sounds so empty. I tell myself this 1000 times a day. I don’t know if I really believe it or I am just trying to convince myself. Anyways…life still goes on……We all have it all once in a while and at times we all going through the bumps. Some face hard bumps some don’t. Amen!!

Start looking for altenatives. When is u r OPT over? Masters is an option. Some prep classes are other options. Talk to HR. If you are flexible you can tell them to relocate you is some other county. If you do not wanna leave US then tell them that you wanna join masters and wanna come back to work with them. May be it will work. Just use any otpions you feel of any remote possiblity. peace out

Yeah you are write with the moral girl. never post personal stuff in the public forum. That's why it is called personal. I sympatize on you and your almost happening Bhagya. But you know that's how it is .. sometimes you get Stinging thorn and sometimes you get a beautiful rose...that's life ..you learn from it and you move on. This is corporate America..they want you they will do anything to keep you...They don;t want you they will find 1 million reason to kick you out...And that's what you do to after you get more experience ...you will start following the money...whichever company pays you more that's where you will be heading...no matter how bad the company needs you. It was your bad luck this time...hopefully sooner or later you chance will come as well... Where there is a way there is a will...you will find a job and get sponsered as well...Maybe it was too easy for you to achieve everything and hence turned out to be little complicated...God's knows what but hey you did get a big time lesson...Like I read in my school, "Don't count the chicken before it hatched."

jUST A FEW words to Vanisha. I'm posting after a long time so I thought 'd post on something good. As far as jobs are concerned, yes, it's hard. I mean I'm still in college but I hear your plight. I know how hard it is to land a job- it is hard for us residents it must be hard as hell for intl students. As far as having a miserable life is concered Hi5 and facebook are just anothjer way for MOST people to shadow their misery- it's their getaway from their sorrow. Most girls- as you probably see- are always seen dancing in clubs hanging around holding a drink in their hands with their boyfriends. They all seem slimmer because I'll gurantee you Aishwarya Rai prolly thinks her neighbour is slimmer so dont worry about the slim part. Besides- as such an outstanding student you must be able to persuade the companies to offer you jos not the other way around. You said you have a boyfriend? Maybe he can help you out someway if he's a resident. Otherwise the both of you are in it together and that should bring you guys together during troubled times- that's what makes love life so much sweeter- having the support of someone all the time. You probably have completed your undergrad right now. If you absolutely don;t get any other jiobs I guess my suggestion woul be to continue on with a masters degree or a Phd. I mean, you should'nt look back should you? And don't worry about all those girls with executive jobs on hi5. After coming to the Us one thing you shouldve realized how much hyped the market is when it comes to designating your position. In Investment banking- the field I'm interested in- an associate becomes VP after a few years if he/she can stick around. On a small firm with low income you can QUICKLY become a VP because there's 15 other people above him/her in management they give those titles simply to keep them htere. Also those who work that hard and have such sexy jobs- dont really hang around in facebook and hi5. So think about it that way- you have someone who loves you in the US that alone should make you feel gifted- let alone your outstanding marks!
