Hi all - I'm looking for some advice -- I've been in the US for the past 10 years, currently working in one of the big techs and planning to move back later this year. I'm on my 6th year of H1 with no sign of perm getting through at all. The perm processes paused multiple times in the past few year but there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
I've also been struggling mentally with the WLB and the toxic environment i'm mentally checked out. I'm trying to take internal transfer into another team in India but so far no luck. On top of that, loneliness has started to creep in out of the blue which is making things worse (haha!). I was able to get the recapture days until april'27 but I don't think I can survive working in the same team that long. Unfortunately, can't transfer internally in the US because of the immigration stuff plus I don't want to go to Canada.
I'm planning to put my two week notice soon but my friends are suggesting that I should survive and complete the full tenure -- which sounds right but i feel guilt of not performing which adds another layer of complexity.
Anyone has been in this situation who can provide some insights or advice -- I might be operating from a place of burnout and hence can't evaluate this situation objectively. TIA
