I‘m a tax manager in a big 4 and recently got an offer from another Big 4, similar title and comp. The new role aligns better with my I-t goal. Currently very long hours & ddls, and limited learning opportunities, though the team itself is great.

Downside, I'm on H-1B and would need to restart the PERM/GC process, including costs out of pocket. Also struggling with leaving behind the network/reputation.

Curious if it is better to stay where i am or make a move only for I-t career goal. Thanks!

I don’t see making the move I think you’ll be working more hours or the same at another big 4

Stay where you are if you like your team. That is EVERYTHING. I have yet to be part of a team that I thought twice about leaving. All the rest is the same it sounds like. Not sure how different the new role is that will get you to your l-t goal that much faster. And starting the H-1B process over again? You willing to risk that? That's a gamble itself.

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
