Folks on H1B who left KPMG - assuming you started green card process with K, did you have to pay back any money to the firm when you left? I have signed such agreement but not sure if they actually enforce it. Any real experiences will really help.. thanks!

Kpmg doesn't. My SO left for Deloitte 1 year ago, and they haven't asked anything back. Typically big firms like big 4 or mbb won't go through the effort to ask for money back.

Thanks! Did your SO sign the agreement with KPMG when they started the green card process?

Not specific to KPMG, but most firms do ask to payback that money!!

But has anyone actually paid that money back? Especially if they leave 2-3 years after starting the process..

Deloitte removed these payback clause back in 2012/2013

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
