I’m planning on going to the US under a study visa in 2022, take a LLM and then try to get a job at EY... but I’ve been reading some experiences here of how stressing it can be to stay under a work visa... is it worth it? 😕

Living on a work visa is stressful with many uncertainties in my life. Some of my friends in my home country have settled down with diverse job experiences from switching companies, become homeowners, and started having families, whereas I'm here just wondering where I will eventually end up in. You must be mentally ready and willing to make sacrifices including missing some important events in your life. It all depends on you

Totally agree. And a very important factor, if not the most important, to consider is the H1-B visa lottery you will face after only one year OPT. This is purely luck and completely out of your control no matter what.

Not under the current administration that is trying to reevaluate the OPT.

Hopefully things will be different in 2022? Thanks SC1

H1-B visa holder here. Currently Senior 1 at EY. Based on the current climate: OPT, H1-B lottery, EY’s sponsorship policy in two years, etc. Not recommend........ I am in LA office and I haven’t seen they hired any international student from campus for the past two years...... so the door is closing.......

Do you know what type of job you’re looking for in EY? Also, you should know that EY won’t allow you to be at bar. Did you explore other countries than US?

I work in international tax, I’d be looking at a senior associate role I guess. I don’t have any interest on taking the bar exam (but I didn’t know they don’t allow! That’s interesting.. I’m brazilian, work at EY but also am a registered attorney at the brazilian bar)

If I were you, I wouldn’t. The prospect itself probably looks glamorous but trust me the reality once you set your foot in is completely different. Not to say it doesn’t have its positives, but the immigration policy changes that happen sometimes in a jiffy make you feel like you can never plan your future with certainty.
