In dilemma! POV needed.

Got selected in H1B this year. VISA stamping and travel is still to happen. CTC there would be 65K USD.

Tried outside and got offer of 28L (from ACN S&C)

Should I travel to the US or stay back and take this offer?
Yoe 6.5
Skill Oracle EPM
btech MBA

Let me know if any other info needed to share your pov.

P.S I have no intention of staying long term in the US if I go.

65k USD is severely less to thrive even in a low cost city. If you adjust it for purchase power parity, it merely translates to a salary of 12LPA in India (this too seems to be inflated btw).
Your other offer seems much more suitable for your experience and education.

Hey thanks for the reasoning.. it validates my thought process!

Switch and bargain for onsite in Accenture.

@OP Please don't go for the H1B option. They have phenomenally low balled you. For comparison, any decent Associate in a top 50 consulting firm starts around 75k. And this is the bare minimum. It is definitely much greater than this. 28 at Accenture is definitely decent and much better than your other offer if you have around 4-5 yrs experience.

Thanks SC1.. the major turn off for me was salary itself!

What is the US location that is being offered?

Indianapolis

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about.

My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
