Are you dead on contracting? Or is that the only form of work you can do is with a sponsorship ?

Not dead set on contracting.. just seemed like the path of least resistance since I already have the working holiday visa (can work for same employer up to 6 months).

Would require other sponsorship for a more permanent/longer term position.

Commerce Tech/ Fin Tech companies would have a higher chance of contract/ sponsorship.

Gov is great if you have PR

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

This one is for folks on h1b visa. So at time when you have an offer in hand(not accepted the offer yet and h1b transfer process not yet begun) while you are working with your current employer, do you even speak to your employer about your new offer to see if they make a counter offer?
Is there a risk involved with this approach assuming your current employer doesn't provide you with a counter offer and they ask you to leave immediately (and your h1b visa hasn't been transferred either)
