Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Transferring to Q in India? Is that an option?

I'm on a H1B visa and fearing I might be impacted. If I can't get a job within 30 days (if I'm notified), I'll have to move back to India, hence thinking about all my options. Moving itself is a lot of work - I'll have to sell my house, look for enrolling my kids to a good school in India etc etc.

I was wondering if I ask for a transfer to Hyd or Blore, will it look too bad? I don't want to take my job from here to India, but transfer to a new opportunity available in India.

Other than a few qualcomm and industry specific tech, I've expertise in Java, Python, Ruby, C, C++, Javascript (Node.js).

Because time is a factor, you may not like the job you will find in the limited time frame. So, my suggestion will be to look for a job in a place like SF, that way, you have future options of switching jobs once you settle down.

Everyone who thinks of a move back will look for a job in Hyde or Blore, regardless of which company they work for, or how storng a professional they are. So what stops you from looking at oppotunities outside your org/division ? Is it that you prefer to stay if you aren't impacted ? If so, you shd be looking at jobs within USA.,

Since you know quite a few languages, you should really consider jobs in other cities, that may be simpler for you and easier for your kids & family. You can rent out your house and move. Getting a job within 3 weeks is very much possible.

I would suggest looking to see what is available in India NOW. That way if you are impacted you have already started the process of transferring to a preferred position, instead of what’s left. If you aren’t impacted, you won’t be too far along in the process that you can’t back out.

Who doesn't, so why are you even here?
