Fish, how are H1B transfer opportunities looking like these days? Anyone able to make a successful transition recently? I have seen folks in my network take up new roles but majority are in Big 4 and mid tier consulting. But outside that, the job market looks horribly bleak. Anyone able to get into industry roles?

I can tell you that my current company (F10, industry) has stopped sponsoring any candidates requiring H1B transfers/lottery below director. I think some other companies have followed suit too. So yeah job market in the US not so good for desis :(

That sucks. Many say this is temporary and we ride it out where we are. I get that to an extent. But career has to move on, life has to move on. And I feel this is pretty handicapping. Consulting can plateau at least in Big 4 and post that in the past ideally an industry transition into middle mgmt was the way to go. That seems very hard now.
