“As an H1B worker, I did not have the luxury of time. With a growing family dependent on me, I pushed myself to interview up until a week before my delivery, just for offers to get rescinded due to the fast-changing business needs in Tech”, her post added.

I’m joining a team of smart and capable teammates who already exemplify empathy, trust, confidence, and transparency through this difficult process. I am excited for this new chapter of life with a company and team that care and stand by their employees.”
“As a first-time mom, I do grieve the missed undivided time with my newborn in her first few months of life. However, I am proud to one day tell this story to my daughter and be a role model as she learns how to turn lemons into lemonade through her own life. #Cisco Newbie #working mom #meta layoffs #maternity leave“, the post concluded.
