Hi all, I am finishing up my Ph.D. And I am trying to break into consulting. If I go in more traditional role with my background, I would be working in pharma. I do not see any visa related issues in pharma. But, I am wondering if I switch to consulting, do I need to worry about complicated visa situation in case of recession and H1b approval?
