Hi everyone. A PDM specialist here. Joined Deloitte 5+ years back as ‘Senior Solution Engineer -On-site’.Later in June 2017 all these ‘on-site’ folks got rebranded as PDM. Slowly started to realize how PDM is getting sidelined as a ‘discountable’ group. Sometimes I feel contract jobs are better than being at PDM , but obviously tied up with D for visa related issues.No career progression so far and don’t see any positive changes in the near future as well.I think it’s high time to call it a day.
Anyone on H1B here at Wells?

Never quit or even inform your current employer until the transfer comes through. KPMG won't find out I think but who cares if they do.
They can't find out.. inform only after your lawyer receives an approval notice of action as the site glitches sometimes and incorrectly shows status.
Thanks EY1 and D1. But will I be able to work those two weeks once my H1B is transferred to another firm?
Resign once you receive you new I-797 for new employer. Your i797 from KPMG will still be valid so no worries in working for KPMG. After 2 weeks with KPMG you can start with the new firm immediately.
Thanks so much D2!
@OP None of what is said above is true. 1) When the new firm files your H1, you are allowed to move to the new firm. Not once it's approved. 2) Even if you notify your current employer that you are leaving it will take them a month or so to process revoking your H1 and USCIS might take upto 3 to actually process it 3) Be professional and give your firm atleast a 2 week notice. As long as #1 happened by this time, you are good to go. Unless you have some fake info on your profile, the new company is not well known or you are moving to a completely different field, USCIS does not reject transfers. And next time, pay up and get this from an actual lawyer like I did.
Or - wait till getting approved, then go to work at new firm on Monday, wait till KPMG gets pissed off from your absenteeism, collect pay in meantime, wait till they revoke your H1 and notify you, show up and ask for flight reimbursement because they are legally obliged to cover return expense if you don't find a new job, put in PTO with new firm, go home for a week on KPMG dime, return to work.
My proposed start date is in 8 weeks so I think I have enough time to have the transfer approved then give my two-week notice to KPMG, right? I'm not gonna leave on the day I quit I'd never do that.
