The consulting bowl is having such a reaction to the this H1B order is understandable, I think it’s also understandable and made evident that as a country we have a big reliance (maybe over reliance) on H1Bs and that’s not necessarily a great thing either. Was hoping for a better middle ground than this.

It seems pretty great to me!
I like to welcome talented, friendly people to our country. I love immigrants. I reject nationalism and anti-immigration policy. Especially through legal pathways.

Because H1B allows that

When I graduated from college, I started at Deloitte in a starting class of over 500 people at a starting wage in 2005, of $55K with a $6k signing bonus. Hires in San Francisco, LA, and NYC all had higher wages.

This was also the case for Accenture, IBM, and other large firms hiring large starting classes out of American universities. Certainly the current economy has reduced hiring class sizes and delayed start dates, but at this point, especially looking at Canada, given unemployment and layoffs, it doesn't appear that we need so many more H1-B hires.

It was a JOKE that I started my consulting career alongside H1Bs in the same entry level roles. It was a program being abused plain and simple. H1Bs were largely average entry or managerial level folks who bring a net negative to the country considering there are comparable Americans who can fill those roles.

What a silly argument, the beauty of the big 4 is that we have a firm that’s a separate legal entity in every major country, these Indians should work for the big 4 in India 😂

This is the consulting bowl. As many here are aware, our jobs are not very important for society. The H1B crazy fee will be devastating for far more important fields, like the medical one. Ready to pay $4000 / month health insurance for way worse service in hospitals, after lack of residents triples their salaries and doubles wait times in hospitals?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
