Thinking about transferring from EY US to EY London. I'm a staff 1 and unfortunately didn't win the visa lottery. Any thoughts of how hard it is to transfer?

Yes that's what EY said that they will help us transfer cause they want to keep us, but they are not doing much. Going through the interview process and all that can be a pain

I didn't get selected this year either and was thinking about going to Canada. Honestly I don't have a preference but it sounds like Canada has an easier transition. You said EY is helping you getting a new job right now? What have they been doing to help? Are they helpful? I will go thorough the same process soon😞

OP, most of the people I know who found places at other offices after not getting H-1B received two year contracts (similar to rotation) and their home office is working to sponsor their H-1B so they can return in future. Don't give up! Try to get an office somewhere to take you so you can stay with the firm and then try to work out a plan to come back to the US if you want

I'm guessing EY US won't sponsor you for s green card? I would imagine it would be quiet easy to transfer. Firms always need associates, so if you've got to leave the country because the US won't sponsor you, I don't see why London wouldn't take you as a transfer

You need to work 6 years on a working visa before you can apply for a green card.

A girl from my group transferred to EY London from FAAS to TAS. She said it actually wasn't that difficult and very easy to do. I believe she initiated it and reached out to their TAS group. It took awhile for her visa application to be processed but she's there now actually.

When I was at EY a girl in our group transferred to London after not getting H1-B. She had to contact that office directly and push through HR but ultimately the firm wanted to keep her even if she could stay in the US. She's on a 2 year contract and the US firm filed for her H1-B this year (rejected again) in prep for her returning at some point.

From seeing others experiences with not getting H1-B I think the best thing is to try and find your own route. HR will say they are trying to help but I've seen then not be all that helpful :(

Yeah HR EY doesn't do much..except tell you to contact somebody. My SM is trying to reach some people in London to make it easier. We shall see

Intra-company transfer is easier if they have the need and you have the specialty they're looking for. My advice, choose your client wisely and ensure you have a niche or specific industry focus.

What level do you have to be to be able to transfer?

At least Senior level

Are you from the SD office working in OC?

Context: 29 Years old, unmarried, Currently at Big4 in a Strategy role, 5 years on H1B remaining, no loan

Joining MBB in Oct and wondering what credit card to get.

factors to consider:
•Currently have CapOne Quicksilver (did it for intro $ offer a year+ ago).
•Backpacking Europe for ~6 weeks in Aug, so looking to put purchases on new card. Already paid round trip, but not the intermediate parts.
•Unsure how much traveling for cases, esp w the WFH situation.

Was looking at Chase Freedom Unlimited for $300 offer & % cash back, but curious ab other options. Corp card prob also affects decision.
