Hi folks, I got an offer from an investment bank with around 30% bump in the base comp. My current firm has already filed my green card and I am currently waiting for I-140 approval. I have three years left on my H1B. The new firm will fie green after one year of employment. Should I make the move or wait for I-140 approval and reject the offer?

If you’re not miserable at the current firm then I’d stay. You can always move for better pay once you get the stability and peace of mind a green card provides. Then again, if you’re not too far into your GC process with your current firm and really want to work for the IB then go for it. I’d personally stay for the GC tho.

On a different note, how did you already get them to file your GC with 3 years left on your H1B?

I’m contemplating a lateral move bc I am stuck/typecast on one or two matters and want to pursue a broader practice, and am not getting enough hours for good reviews/bonus/job security. Struggling with decision because I like my current firm. Any thoughts?

She is making 65,000 Canadian and that would narrow down to 50,000 USD, she wanted some insight on how much quality assurance or regulatory affairs associates or other levels make? Also is she being underpaid or is that the current market rate at the moment. Thanks in advance
