Unless you really love consulting and will not like the industry job, stay with consulting. Industry is exit option for many. Package seem to be decent too. Plus you can always come back to consulting with ‘industry knowledge’

To be honest, you might get screwed over by immigration regardless of where you are. Right now, they have work location stuff in crosshairs but that can easily change to something that impacts a non travel role. So, just focus on what you want

If you like travel and challenges then go with Deloitte if you prefer work life balance then I suggest industry.

Congrats OP..what position and city?

Data engineer with experience in cloud, big data and Analytics.
I am in a tier 2 city right now (Chicago, DC, Seattle)

I’m up for travel but concerned about the H1B amendments

I already signed Deloitte’s offer, so reneging after so many months would not be taken kindly.

Deloitte’s offer is obviously much better than Industry ( about difference of 25k if you account for location)

Take industry.

@ATK1 - can you elaborate ?

Stick with Deloitte. You can always go industry later. You get better perks with the travel and unless you’ve got kids and stuff industry will make you want to pull your hair out

Yeah OP, go to industry. Looking at the number of visa rejections I'm worried about staying in consulting. I'd gladly take any industry job right now to save myself from this constant struggle.

OP...What level are they offering you at D and how many years of exp?

D is offering manager position, I’ve got 6-7 years of experience.

Industry. Uscis is after travel jobs in consulting and we have ultra unique GGS that makes our matter worse.

OP definitely recommend going to industry and the only reason is Deloitte’s new law firm GGS who have screwed up countless visa apps. I personally know a lot of people whose Visa extension or transfer got denied solely because of the law firm. Right now they can deny responsibility because USCIS overall is rejecting a lot of applications but they are highly incompetent

Stay with Uncle D. All of Big 4 have Engineering staff where travel isn't a req so you can be quickly accommodated if the need rises.

@D3 - My thought process is similar right now

@EY3 - This role is definitely a travel position, if I opt for non travel, then I have to relocate to Texas or some place. I am not interested in doing that.

Consulting has become a big challenge. Every new project u work on you need an LcA ammendment if u are on H1. Projects dont prefer picking a desi because of this. Lca rejections have also gone high. I would pick industry at least until the immigration storm calms down.
