@OP what is you background? I have a technology background. Was Manager at PwC. In NYC. I applied to all related roles available in LinkedIn Jobs. I have friends In other big 4 as well as companies like google , Facebook etc. So I applied there through referral. You will need to brush up on your skills. I used coursera , LinkedIn learning to update skill set before interview. There are lot of start ups who are ready to transfer h1 if your skill set is extra ordinary. Let me know if you need any specific information.

Thanks y'all! Any tips for finding something good/decent fast? Any recruiters to work with?

@pwc2 mind sharing more? Would like to learn more from your experience

Forgot to add ..try Slalom consulting as well . they are very much interested in big 4 candidates.

@P2 where did you find a lawyer and how much does it cost? How long before you got a first offer?

I filed Chang of status to h4. Any immigration lawyers can do that. I filed it through immigration attorney at my spouse's work place. I am not sure if you are married and your spouse works here. But you can file change of status for B1 visa.

@PWC1 what's h4? Not married

@op: h4 is h1 dependent. Yes 60 days rule is valid for H1b work visa only.
Which visa you hold currently?

@p2 h1b

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
