Hello everyone,

I got my L1B Visa approved on June and moved to USA (Seattle). The L1B does mean my wife is eligible to work and since she is in family medicine it is super useful, although she is going through her board certification/licensures. My company does have a pending PERM application which they say they will file when the backlog is complete. I also was born in Saudi Arabia - since I know place of birth is important too.

I now got an offer from a different company (also in USA) and it is making me consider taking it. Normally I wouldn’t but this is a dream company for me. They are in Austin so from my research it would mean I would need to give up my L1B and move onto a TN?

I just wanted to ask you guys how this would work and if it is worth giving up a shot at an incredible company or give up my L1B visa. If I go onto TN how does my pathway for green card look?

I am currently in the process of integrating Open Telemetry into my code. I have a web application and a backend api. I have several REST APIs and one of the APIs also ends up getting invoked by the user -> kicks off an async process by triggering a background job -> the background job invokes and polls on a specific endpoint (downstream API). The web app also polls on an operations endpoint to get status of this background job basically. Additionally, I also invoke some Azure resources (specifically ARM).

Now that I provided context, I wanted to explain what currently exists in my backend:

1. Controller fetches the correlationId for every request using the headers (x-correlation-id) from a middleware

2. Automatically forwards this correlationId when invoking downstream APIs/Azure APIs

3. Passes it into each method starting from the controller: controller invokes singletonServiceA.methodA and methodA has a signature including the correlationId. From here the logs automatically capture the correlationId

4. Background jobs also use this correlationId to invoke APIs and for logging

Now that I am switching to OTel, I am seeing an entirely different convention which I'm unsure on how to relate together.

My questions are as follows:

1. Should I drop the manual propagation of correlationId everywhere and just keep it as a span attribute? From what I am finding out, I definitely need to do this

2. For legacy resources, let's say ARM which expect a correlationID, what should I do?

3. For downstream APIs, should I switch to sending them a traceparent instead of the correlationId (what I do right now)

Hello everyone, I just moved to Seattle and was looking for a place to stay. I saw a couple: Eastline Grand, Eastline Central. All look really nice although the apartment size is smaller than I expected for such a high price.

I was able to tour an apartment in Eastline Central for 2940$ (705sqft) with 8 weeks “free” rent. The thing which really surprised me was how many added fees there were. Postal fee, locker fee, parking fee, any and every possible thing had a fee associated with it. I understand these are luxury or semi luxury units but it means per month for everything included am I looking at 3600-3700$ per month? Although with the discount it seems like my effective monthly rent over the span of a year goes down to ~3000$ per month or slightly higher.

The thing is Im not really finding better options. I am open to areas ~50 min commute to Redmond too as long as they have a direct public transit option.

Has anyone who has lived in these apartments actually talk about the real cost of all the utilities and how much you pay per month? Or if you have any suggestions on what better places exist or where I should take a look?

Hello everyone,

I am relocating to Seattle from Toronto, Canada. I honestly know very little about this city but I do like how beautiful it is.

I will be working in Redmond and I have a wife and an infant. The rental scene makes very little sense to me especially in Redmond (obviously Ive seen very few apartments).

I wanted to reach out to see what places you recommend I take a look at? Additionally what are the best websites/agencies to reach out to in order to find an apartment?

Some of the apartment viewings I did have are asking for 3000-3500$ rent but are providing 8 weeks free (although 200$ for a parking spot)

I booked some viewings by directly finding some management companies but wondering if there is a better way for this.

Thank you!
