I am on F1 OPT and have three chances for H1 starting from 2022 March. I have an offer with Infosys with higher package (15k more)than my current company. My current company will initiate H1. But, Infosys is not committing with H1 initiation. They told it will be based on performance, If I accept the offer my joining will be at the end of September. So, my question is, will they consider my performance and raise H1 coming March and does infosys normally initiate H1 for opt’s

With H1B lottery system, there is lot of chances for not being picked up. Why miss a yearly chance.

like

How much harm would it do if H1 ends up delayed? Because that seems like the likely scenario if you go with the higher package.

H1 picking is purely luck based. I was in same situation few years ago. I did a move and lost the chance of H1 lottery that year. And eventually in my other 2 chances it didn’t got picked up. So I had to change my visa to dependent. So from experience , it’s always good to be with employer who files H1 next year. .

Focus on h1b and as soon as it’s done, shift multiple jobs if you aspire higher salaries.

hi, my situation is exactly same as yours even i got offer from infosys (15k more) . also even I worked in deloitte back in india

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
