Do you believe that being on a work Visa affects your salary negation ability? If you were tied to a visa would you negotiate less?

I have had a different problem. If I was not on a visa I would have walked out the door so many more times through my career. So essentially every move I have made I set a really high hurdle rate to switch which made me top of the band. In several cases the new employer could not match and I didn't make the switch

That’s a good viewpoint. Thanks for sharing

Definitely. That happened to me. My TC went up 15 % for during the time when I stuck with my visa situation (5 years). Once it was over, I jumped off the ship and moved twice. In less than 2 years, my TC went up by 200 %

At VP level, no. Your work visa cost is peanuts compared to the value you bring to a company. And they know you can find another company to take on your visa if you’re not paid what you’re worth at your current company.

I’m here on a work visa and have always negotiated to the top of my comp range at my current company, plus have gotten very high offers externally. This visa has never been an issue.

What’s your skill set?

Ah sorry, I thought this was in the London bowl. Might be totally different for the US.

Not direct impact, but I accepted a lowball offer as so many people were not even ready for H1.
So out of little panic , as soon as I got some offer I accepted it
Except big tech and consulting firms every one is still reluctant to take H1.
If you are confident of getting good offers, then you can always negotiate for the top comp.

If you are tied to the company and they know that then there could definitely be an impact.

I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
