Canada Big4 ---> US Big4

Share your experience if you were in the same situation. If going for the same firm, should I apply directly through job search sites or try reaching out to the US firm internally? Will the US firm sponsor L1 visa for Canadian citizens? Did you take a title cut?

Any non-US lawyers who have been hired by an Am100 firm without having sat the bar? Looking for an opportunity in the US, if possible DC or NYC, and currently working for Big Law in Europe.

Would like some tips re hiring process + visa from those who have succeeded. Looking for a 1-2 year stay and open for longer term

Hi, for those on H1B, is there anything we need to do or file when changing address within the same state? (I’ve already updated in my company’s system)

Can please share to get job offer letter from any canada company for project development profile. Please suggest.

Current- no visa

Good credit card to open? Thinking Amex gold - anyone have it and recommend? Or any others?

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with. Now, a friend and I both traveled US to Europe in the last week, different routes, in Econ/Biz. For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Worked for 10.5yrs in Infy Package is 11L and now I have an offer from Enquero(Genpact) for 20L and as a counteroffer from Infy:- 40% hike + Canada visa or 70% hike

Please suggest which will be better for the long term for Testing(Automation/Manual)

PS: I have not considered a Canada visa

Have to take short term leave due to current health condition, can I claim short term disability benefits while on H1b visa? Thanks in advance for any info.

Such a pain to file LCA and amend H1B every time I travel somewhere for projects...sigh (working remotely sucks during this process)...

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Can H1B approved under consular processing but yet to be activated be transferred to another employer and can the new employer apply for transfer and change of status?

Moving from Canada to the US. Anyone have recommendations on best credit cards to apply for to start building credit and that either leverage Canadian credit or don’t require credit? Have heard Amex and RBC (and a few other larger banks) seem most straightforward but open to ideas.

Is anyone in this group spent 4 years in public accounting audit still waiting for his/her employer to start Labor petition perm process? I have only 2 years left with my h1b now, during this unprecedented time I am worried if the firm may not be willing to incur additional cost? Please let me know if anyone in this group have faced the similar situation?

Anyone switched from consular processing to change of status to activate their H1B? If yes, could you pls share when and how(i.e. if you had a ppmd looped in) you reached out to the law firm. My worm authorization is set to expire in 6 months and travel to home country is risky..

Does Amex renegotiate offer based on counter offer after accepting the offer letter?
My joining is in Aug 1st week.

I have a Deputy CISO who constantly instructs us to not go to HR with top level compliance issues (because JP Morgan Chase frowned upon it). But these issues are pervasive to tone at the top and could cause non compliance. What should I do?

Hi All :) I need advise on whether it is possible to get my first time H1B stamped at a US consulate in Canada ? I am required to travel to Canada anyway for my PR stamping and I am trying to figure out if I can get my H1B stamped around the same time while I am in Canada for my PR, since it is extremely difficult to get appointments in India these days? I am currently based in US. Thanks!
