I have interviews scheduled with other Big 4s and Slalom. How difficult is it to switch firms for folks on H1B ?

Not at all in terms of getting offers from Big4. But the complete process from LCA to H1B approval is taking 3-5 months these days(assuming you will be joining after H1B approval)

Is it risky to join with just the receipt notice? Do the firms recommend joining like that?
I am still new to this field so just wanted to check.

Yes it's little risky joining on receipt.. you will loose your H1B status and will be out of status if , for any reason, H1 gets rejected.

Depending upon the firm.. but most are ok with joining on receipt... if you are single, not have much investment (like house, car, etc) you can take this risk.. worst case you will have to go out of country for couple of months if h1gets rejected and firm re files

Okay good to know. My wife works in the industry on H1B. Worst case - will switch to a H4. Thanks for the tips, guys.

Yes if no one is dependent upon you.. worth taking the risk.. make sure to check with firm HR on their policy on H1.. good luck .. if you coming to D. Welcome 😄

The thing is with the current time frames, I doubt if any firm will wait 6-8 months - joining on receipt seems to be the only viable option

Hmm makes sense. Let's see. I'll take a call when I actually get an offer. Will talk to the corresponding firm HR and make sure I know about their policies.

I haven't received any interview calls been 2-3 months now, my profile itself is not getting shortlisted for some reason. My NP-90 days in Naukri and LinkdIN. I get some calls from HR asking about my details but then they say I will talk to my tech lead and get back to you if your resume get shortlisted.

Sigh... Situation is messed up atm. Not sure how to make my first career switch.

I’m in the 2nd and final round for a position with a well know company. However, they haven’t asked me my salary expectations yet and am unsure if I provided expectations on my job application. How should I handle this IF the final interview goes well?
