You can, but not without considerable difficulty given the market dynamics right now. You’d also need to show strong experience in ME projects as the market is flooded with candidates.

I understand it and I do have required experience in ME projects but not sure who to reach because I have been applying endlessly but to no avail. I am open to moving to a non consulting industry as well.

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.
