Congrats to OP. Everyone else chill. If you're worried, voice your concerns. They might be ignored but then remind yourself accounting is easily employable and if you can do this on a visa, you'll work it out.

PwC does not pay top dollar, so 30K raise is feasible depending on the position and fluffing up experience a bit. PwC recently had some big advisory clients drop off leaving many in advisory without work. An H1B sponsor would be ill advised to let US citizens or Perms go before H1Bs since H1Bs are here under the condition that they don't take away an equally qualified US person's job.

I was a senior 3. Laid off as a part of H1b reductions. Had 3 weeks to find a new sponsor. Anything unusual is not always a lie.
