In the same boat! I’d say go for home country - the US will always be there, so will your H1b since you already got a place in the quota. You could always find a way back if things don’t work out. Go and be happy.

Definitely take the opportunity. US pay is nothing compared to returns if u hit it big. Imagine this : 2% of a Company stock listed at 12 Rs. & trading at 800. A few Millions within 3 yrs.

Besides, tax and cost of living may be lower so pay cut may not impact your life style too much.

If you are married, consider family decisions as well.
I would personally take the risk if family didn't disagree. Remember: Higher risk, higher returns.

It is important to understand what kind of risk matters to you.

Type1: Working on visa despite not knowing when your GC will be approved

Type 2: selling a project at half the price, and ensuring you make higher returns by basing rest of project revenue on ROI for client from that project

If you get a decent opportunity

Go ahead! So happy for you

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.
