Some people don't like whiteboarding or timed pair programming because it's not close to a real-work environment.

Some people don't like take-homes that replicate scenarios/projects because they think it's too close to real work and want to be paid instead!

There's no pleasing everyone with interviewing processes.

Agreed. React Context wonderfully handles state that will only ever live locally/"on the client".

I don't mind Redux for local state management, but it's a little overkill if you aren't using it already to handle API state.

Using Apollo on the client side makes me want to pull my hair out though.

The WARN Act is not severance! It requires that the company notify employees 60 days in advance of a mass layoff. They don't have to specifically notify the individuals being laid off.

There is no requirement for severance in California!

If she is not your spouse, then she will not be able to accompany you on your TN visa. If she is your spouse, she can enter on a TD visa while accompanying you. The TD visa does not have work authorization so she will not be able to get a work permit. So to answer your question: Never.

However, being in the US will allow her more opportunities to interview with companies that may be willing to sponsor her on other visas that will grant work authorization.

Another route is the F1 student visa to OPT/CPT.

I went across the Canadian border for a TN1 last week via a pre-clearance office at a Canadian airport. There were no problems--business as usual.

There are denials at the land border due to COVID, though travel for work is considered essential travel.

The application for a TN2 for Mexican citizens is another story. I've heard those are all on hold.

I recently spent a weekend in a major city without Uber/Lyft. Trying to call a cab company was terrible, relative to the user experience of Uber or Lyft.

After making my request, a few cab companies simply answered "Ok" before hanging up. I called them back to get an ETA, and their dispatchers would give me answers like "30 to 40 minutes" or "I don't know".

I wasn't out in the boonies or anything. I was downtown.
