I have been trying to exit consulting for a while now. I am gonna get the EAD card for Gc somewhere around mid next year. Should I wait till I get it or should I make a move? Reason I ask is I’m getting very few callbacks and I think it’s coz I’m on a H1.

Don’t really know your full profile but I don’t think that’s the main reason.

I am on H1B and definitely some firms don’t consider your profile because of it but I had 4 offers including FANG.

Take your time to search properly, market is red hot and every H1B person I know who’s job hunting has had multiple offers.

You shouldn’t have any issues finding other jobs in daya even on H1B. It took me around 2-3 months to get offers so plan accordingly once you receive GC.

Just be aware that if you signed any document for GC processing then it probably has a clause saying work for at least a year after getting GC or you’ll have to reimburse GC expenses. Something to look out for.
