I have received full time offers (audit staff) from both Deloitte and EY. I’m an international student requiring H1B sponsorship. My masters program is not STEM. Meaning, I have just one year of OPT. Which firm is relatively good in terms of immigration issues, and internationally friendly. I need advice to make a decision.Deloitte EY

It depends on how lucky you get with the USCIS. I failed the H1B lottery sponsored by EY in 2018. It has nothing to do with the firm, honestly. EY has helped me in every way they can but it was just bad luck. Focus on the team environment, firm’s culture and your future development to make your decision.

EY definitely. Have heard bad things about Deloitte (e.g. international student friend was told he would be fired by Deloitte if he didn’t win the lottery, whereas EY will still try to place you in your home country)

I failed H1b twice. They transferred me to UK. I came back to the original team in 2018. I am in advisory.

I’ve seen people either get fired (they were on an OPT which expired and later on a student visa) or get sponsored for an H1B, or if they don’t win the lottery, get transferred to another firm of your choice eg Canada or UK

like

EY. Got my h1b on first try in 2018 (luck obviously) they started my green card last year . Filed for h1b extension last year and got my stamp this year

No issues with EY yet.
But getting picked or not in lottery cannot be controlled by anyone

Join the Desi Consultants bowl and ask there!

Thank you all for sharing your experience. Very helpful !

Hey was it in your offer letter that they will sponsor immig. stuff? (H1B and so on?)
