10YOE , 30LPA vs promise for a $100k onsite (only h1b is picked in lottery so far).
Which one to choose ?

100K is a lot in midwest while literally nothing in bay areas. It is very important to mention the location you’ll be heading to. Just to give you a rough figure, a bay area dev with 10 years makes 180K-200K in pay alone, stock options on top. Service companies tend to give around 120K-150K though.

From life perspective, my suggestion would be to take the H1 any day as 30L you can still make after like 6 months (when you know whether you’re getting the Visa or not). I know this is going to be a very unpopular choice but as an individual who has been working on H1 for past 6 years, I can assure you that your life will change forever. All that being said, I got my H1 at pretty young age and your experience might actually vary depending on whether you have family, kids etc. Point is, if you’re getting 30L today, you will get same or more in next 6 months so why not take the red pill and see what you can become.

Thank you for the detailed reply. My worry is that my current company keep on saying they haven’t heard anything about onsite from last 6 months. Also most of my teammates working in on-site are from Miami. And my current company will not pay Indian salary once I moved to on-site. From reviews about working in US, I have seen people saying that the max we can save per month is about 1.5L. Is it true? If so I can save the same amount in India too. So is it worth to wait for 6 months?

How soon is too soon to switch jobs? I went in-house a year ago, after five years as a MidLaw litigator. I always aim to stay at a job for at least two years, and not to move until it’s necessary; I also wanted to stay in this job for awhile as I’m still learning how to be in-house and have lots to grow. But the culture is poor and pay is average. Does it look bad to leave after 1/1.5 years? Is the stink of such a departure significantly lessened at the two year mark? Thanks in advance!

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
