Hi Fishes,
I got an offer from one of the Indian consulting company for H1B sponsorship for 2023 with package of 95,000 USD/year. 9+ yrs exp.
Work location - Texas or NJ
We are family of 2. My spouse and I am working in Pune India (With existing compensation as mine 40 LPA + 20 LPA Spouse’s salary)
However, if we decide to relocate to USA with 95k USD yearly on H1B visa, my spouse will not be able to work until she gets H4 EAD done which will take around 1-1.5 years. Will it be wise decision?

You can compare here.
I am not sure what your profile is, but well, at 5yr exp, I would not settle for anything under $140k. You are at 9YoE. Plus the cities you mentioned are on the expensive side.
Check what wage level the company usually uses.

Now this literally depends on what you earn in India, choose wisely.

You are getting 40 lpa in India and got an offer of 95k usd only in USA, too much low as compared to indian salary. It should be 5 times of what you are getting in India.

Is this base?

Is it a good amount to go ahead with? Considering that only I am working, my spouse will not be able to work until she gets H4 EAD

Yes, I also feel so. But thinking about long term, will it be beneficial? Because once I get my surety bond period served(15-18 months), I can jump on to the bigger opportunity where I can demand even 140-150k USD per year as well.
Any thoughts on this perspective please?

Bonds are illegal my friend.
They should give you L1 visa if they want to do that bond thingy.
And I am just a tad worried for you, that if you are ok on 95k now, it's going to be difficult for you to negotiate in future too (not impossible).
PR on H1B is also not a feasible thingy, only thing it guarantees is a high package and freedom to switch.
Plus you seem to be earning quite well here.

Anyways, If ya are looking for growth, US is good, just recession and stuff issue. And keep exploring more opps in USA, you already have H1!

I would like to know how do you land to this ? Was it through consultant or direct approach from LinkedIn or something

Same question... How?

I believe I am a bit late, but if you save on some expenses, like not buying a car immediately, then you can work on that salary for easily a year. Texas is cheaper then NJ so Texas should be the better option. That being said inflation is hitting US hard so try to counter for that too.

For h4 ead you need a approved I-140 then only the EAD can be applied.

But has taken over a month to “think” about it. There shouldn’t really be much to think about? Either he wants me or he doesn’t, right? At this point I’m losing money and and motivation.
