I was on H1B for the last few years doing audit work with one of the Big 4 and in industry. Got let go from industry job, utilized the 60 day grace period to secure offer with the Cyber group at another Big 4 in the US. I did end up having to depart the country at the end of the grace period. Incidentally, the new H1B rules came into effect just a week after my employment ended in industry role.

During this time I also secured another offer from a tech company in Amsterdam for an audit role.
Now I’m seriously considering taking up the AMS offer if they match my asking base.

It sucks that I may have to give up the consulting role due to the visa uncertainties in the US, but I’ll take mental peace and immigration stability in Europe over that.

It’s an incredibly stressful experience to go through all this, the best we can do is trust our abilities and keep exploring and pushing on alternative options.

We’re in talks to determine which office and if my affiliation with my current office will change (complete transfer to another country office or working “offshore/remote”), but I’m still thankful that I’ll be able to stay with my firm. BCG is very supportive, although it’s frustrating because nothing is set in stone and I have two months of OPT left...hbu OP?

Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

I am considering moving from US to Canada within EY if my visa doesn’t work out. Joined EY TAS- OTS from MBA as a Senior last year with base of 150k. How much salary should I expect in Toronto?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Desi folks - question on travelling outside US while you're on L1B visa. I have my valid visa stamp till 2022. Do any of you know if we can travel to India in Dec and come back in Jan? Or is it affected by the Trump executive order that was passed in Jun that said non-immigrant workers can't enter the country till Dec 31? Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx
