Hi - I am having to move from the US to London due to Visa issues. Exploring relevant strategy consulting roles @ MBB / T2s following 3Y of management consulting focused on operations @ a boutique firm in NYC. What is the best way to get started with this ? Any good recruiters you would recommend ? Or referrals? Happy to share my profile. PS - I have UK work auth so won’t require sponsorship.

Has anyone recently done visa stamping in India (Mumbai center) through Dropbox? My appointment is in 3 weeks and I heard of one occurrence in Mumbai where the candidate was delayed by 2 weeks (still waiting for his papers).

Recently heard a friend’s employer backed out of h1b sponsorship last minute (they previously promised her to sponsor h1b), and now she has to leave the US. Did you all have your employers promise to sponsor H1b in writing? How to avoid a situation like this?

6th year of h1b starting in 6 months. Firm has just initiated GC process. How long does it typically take to file PERM and is there a 365 day rule that it should be filed 365 days prior to H1B expiration? Any exceptions to that rule.

I have valid H1 visa, can anyone help me to transfer it to their organisation and I can travel after that? I dont want to continue in current projects and want to switch company as its been 10 years here

My h1b got picked up in lottery this year but case hasn’t been processed yet. Meanwhile I also applied for H4ead extension. What happens to it when H1b gets approved?

People I am looking for a Job in Web App security, Penetration testing Asap! I have 3 years of consulting experience, I am on H1b only 3 weeks left to find a job. Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi All - Just wanted to have a sense check if it is easy for an experienced individual to find a job in UK on dependent Visa ?? Based on this I would be taking a call to resign from existing firm.

I have 4.5 years of experience post MBA - 3 years with an MNC bank in India and 1.5 years in Consulting

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

Hi Fishes,

Could you please help me with with below scenario :
My YOE is 4.3 and ctc is 13 lpa. I am currently nominated for H1B 2023 and my petition is pending with USCIS for approval after lottery. I have heard H1B process could take months to complete. Should I waiting for the H1B or make a swtich? Is it worth waiting for H1B and how much saving one can make per month if traveling to US?

Kindly share your thoughts

Can anyone share salary range advice for a Talent Sourcer/Senior Talent Sourcer please. Looking at entering interviews for Atlassian and Adobe but want to sure the compensation level is worth it before investing the time and would like to understand the market so I don’t undersell myself if I do go ahead. Thank you

For those of you with “successful” side hustles, can you talk about your journey? Was it a passion you turned into a business? Was it an opportunity in the marketplace you took advantage of but take similar enjoyment as you do with your FT job? Do you find it takes away from your motivation at your FT job? How did you take the first steps?

TIA!

My SO and I are contemplating pursuing MBAs simultaneously; is it advisable? Any personal experiences to share?

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

recently asked a question about going to law school with an accounting degree. follow up on that- if i work 1-2 years at my current firm (offered 72,500 full time after graduating undergrad) and acquire my cpa (courses and exam fees paid for by the firm), then apply to law school, would that be more beneficial? ive been reading a lot that work experience helps with the application, alongside having a high gpa and LSAT score

Has anyone recently done an H1B transfer? How long is it taking on premium processing?

Hi all,
Does anyone have advice/ leads on what companies sponsor H1B? I just graduated with my MS in Data Science, have 3 years of UX/ PM experience, a BFA in Product Development, and a BA in Journalism. I have been looking since August and so far no offers/ companies ending the interview once they find out I need sponsorship down the line. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. What companies/ jobs should I apply to with my background?

While the h4-EAD application is in process (already been over 8 months of wait), can one travel outside the US?

What documents do I need for the skilled worker visa application applying from the US? What is the current processing timeline?

If I have a valid H1B until May 2025, will the i131 being denied have any impact on me? I need to travel out of country and I know that’ll result in i131 being denied automatically. I have filed for 485 in July 2022 and hopeful that it’ll get approved before my H1B has to be renewed in May 2025. Is there any risk of travel king out of country multiple times on H1B before 485 approval?

I decided that I’m getting my I485 approved today. Manifest this with me 🙏🏼

Does Deloitte file premium processing for h1b?

Which companies are doing H1b and immediate GC?
