    Hi,

    1. How is the job market now for .net?
    Sorry to say, right now the market condition in US is not well. Lot of people are on bench, but there are still few lucky ones who are getting the jobs.
    2. How is it for SAp (ABA) but i have only a year exp in that.. is it advisable to try a job in that?.
    If you are planning for the second baby and this is the first time for you in US, my suggestion will be to take a break. I am working in US from past 5 years and I know how much of a stress it is if both husband and wife work..You need to enroll your child in a school, make sure that you need to work near the school so that if there is an emergency you can go and pick him up, do all stuff at home (since you dont have maids as u can get in india)

    3. My son is now studing UKG.i have to come there for first grade .. what are the good schools in freemont california.. ?.
    I am not from California, so I cant answer it.. Sorry
    4. if i come there in h1b(next year) what will happen to by visa if i take maternity break..
    You will be in H1b if you are planning to take a small break..like maternity
    5. He is going to apply for Greed card in EB2 Premium processing if so any rough idea how long it will take to get into EAD..
    Right now, the queue is long for green card.. It might take atleast 3-4 years to get EAD. In some cases, they process 2 years green cards petition at one time, then the wait might be short.. but still it might take few years to get it.
    6. Any body in the same boat as iam and what are you doing
    I have lot of friends who have taken a break from the career to take care of kids, since its too much for them to handle all the stuff. Even though you have a financial & independent feeling, it might be very stressful and tiring. Taking a break doesnot mean that you will not work for years, it just means that you will not work for some time.. And then you can do some small jobs if you are bored. This is a friendly suggestion, but its you who needs to take the final decisions. All the best!!!

    Hi Sundari

    There are good public schools in Fremont .Don't worry about schools.Reagrding your Carreer please take a break .I left a rewarding career and came on H4 and was without work for 5 y ears .Now even after my skills got outdated I managed to get a job after EAD .So every employer will undertand when you say you took a break to take for the family .

    MY DH is working on SAP so Let me know when you are in I can see if He can help you as he has lot of contacts in the SAP market .

    Job market is dull but SAP but with SAP and .net background it shouldn't be problem to you .

    All the Best
