I have 2 offers:
1. PwC US for the Manager position.
2. Infosys for the Senior consultant position.
Both offered same base salary (around 150,000 USD)

PwC has huge signing bonus. Have to join Infosys as H1 transfer is already done and I already resigned from TCS by the time PwC offer was finalized.

Once PwC H1 transfer is done then should I leave Infosys within 2-3 months after joining or should I continue with Infosys and decline PwC offer?

I think PWC is a much better brand on your resume. Opens up doors for other big 4 firms down the line. You’ll be fine either way, you have opportunity to evaluate Infosys for a couple months.

I would negotiate the base comp at PEC though, 150 seems a bit low for M. Check other benefits too. And also, what are their policies around the I-140 process?

I’d still go with PWC, it’s a tier above. The work culture and style will be very different and it could be a great learning experience.

$150k at Infosys as senior sounds like it would be top of salary band. $150 as PwC at manager is lower end of band. PwC has much more upside, in my opinion.

like

I am curious if anyone else was thinking the exact opposite. If you are at the top of a pay-band in a lower grade at Infosys, wouldn't it be logical to expect when the OP is promoted to manager, they will be at the top of that pay-band as well? As juxtaposed against being at the bottom of the pay-band at PWC?
Granted there are other considerations to this choice (culture, growth potential, scope of work, geography...), but if salary is the main driver, and you don't ascribe significant value to the title bump, it seems like Infosys is giving you 'more pay for less work'

If I am reading it right,
Infy 150K California
Pwc 150K Atlanta (think of 2x California)
Join Pwc better brand, smarter people, more money, future career growth

They said it's going to be remote.

Infy offered 150k when your base was lower. At this time you have to assume pwc offered you 150k when your base at Infy is 150k. Does it sound like a good deal ? That too with a promotion and increase in responsibilities?

Skill is important not company and of course money after some level.

Yes
