Hi, I was picked up in second lottery. Need suggestions:
I am earning 25LPA currently and about to get married. My fiancee is from non IT job and earning ~10LPA. She is working with an Indian insurance broking company. I will be offered ~115K in Pittsburgh. Should we move as my wife will be on H4. If yes, should we invest in her masters from the US or wait for H4 EAD?

Most of the questions you asked have answers based on your preference only but let me try to answer:
1. Salary offered is good is usa.. generally people don't get offered the same during the first time.
2. Ms or h4 ead: if your company is ready to file green card for you then wait for that if the main purpose is just to get work Authorization for your wife. Doing ms is very costly and if the main motive is just to get work Authorization then better wait for h4 ead.
3. Do you want to move there for better life quality or temporary just to earn and come back? The answer will also depend on that. Does your wife want to move there or what is her preference? Is she interested in leaving her job and moving with you?

Some companies wait for 6 years before they start the green card process.. so it depends on the company.. MS in the USA is costly. So you have to see cost benefit analysis

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
