Looking At my 7-8 year old tax documents , it hit me hard when I realized with a masters and 12 yr experience , PWC payed me yearly total comp $25k as part of global mobility ,bringing me to US as a specialized skillset resource . Reminds me of all the people on the same boat today going through same situation on one hand, and the other group of people displaced from their jobs due to the low wage

One of the most harrowing lessons I have learned is that the workers doing the heavy lifting are often paid the least.

For the record, I used to be one of those folks. Hard times...

likehelpful

So true and most of the heavy lifting work is offshored... employees kept in the dark and overworked

No suprises that it was mandatory to file taxes through PwC

Is there a part 2 to this?

There is no part 2 to this.

What ?! $25k or $75k?

L1B is for specialized skillset resource while L1A is for managerial resource with specialized skillset

Yeah it’s effed up. Happening with software developers too. There’s no logical reason to actually pay anyone in America to do anything. We have an outsourced team in South America and they are overall much better at their jobs than their American counterparts, while getting paid less

So basically you are a offshore working onshore and PwC doesn’t have to pay for your benefits beside per diems each day, and it’s still cheaper than hiring a campus hire in the US?

Holy......is this even legal? I hope you can find a better opportunity and jump ship.

Please tell me that since you came with your L1 you apply for your greencard after year 2 or the bastards denied you that too?

Yeah, they know what’s at stake for us and use that to their advantage. I used to consider it as a win-win situation but after crossing the bridge myself , looking from the other side I realize how screwed all this is and how these companies take advantage of the situation but same time preaching ‘Do the right thing’

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
