@MBB folks on work visa - Do you apply for a LCA / amend your H1B before getting on a new client engagement? Deloitte is pretty adamant about not working before getting this done ... Curious what othe

An amendment takes 30-90 days, how would you do it 4 times a year? Folks would never do any work...

I dont think KPMG does this too

Of course not

So, you just move onto your next client project without any amendment ... that is f-ing awesome. I had to decline 2 projects innthe last 3 months due to this issue

The rule apparently is that we can be deployed once the amendment is filed ... it takes about 14 days .... even with that, it is a pain in the ass. Good to know you guys dont do it at all.

Too big a risk - if USCIS conducts a site visit, and the LCA for the new assignment is not approved, then the person and the company gets penalized for not abiding by the policy. Ergo, Deloitte's concern is valid.

Nobody cares about it PwC. The rule on what counts as "working outside home office" is too vague for Mon-Thu travelers, and is clearly applicable only for people permanently stationed at client sites (like the coders doing ERP implementation )

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Hi all! My brother has 8 YOE post his Masters with a US bank in their rates trading division as a software developer- managing, supporting and developing software for pricing trade executions, risk management and reporting requirements for the trading desk. He wants to pivot out of banking and maybe look for an opportunity with FAANG or with MBB/Tier2 consulting.

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Not enough MBB consultants interested in PE to fill all the ex-consultant spots? Personal goal is to build a fighting chance to exit into GE or MM PE
