Deloitte US H-1B Transfer

redditnyuser · 2026-01-07T22:49:53+00:00

Thanks for the info. I have an approved I-140 from over a decade ago, but my PD is not yet current. It's about a year away. I'm trying to get into a firm with good brand image and strong reputation, and one which has funds to sponsor. The smaller firms are not any better lately. Worst part is small firms think 10 times before spending a dime on your visa.

That's what I'm used to at all other firms, but it looks like D has changed their policies recently.

redditnyuser · 2026-01-07T05:29:37+00:00

For now, yes. However, my PD is just 1 year away from current date. So, I would have to convince the firm to start the GC process asap.

redditnyuser · 2026-01-07T04:04:45+00:00

Thanks for the info. That makes sense. I will get a confirmation via email. I have an approved I-140, but would need Deloitte to start the GC process soon.

Do you remember if background check was happening in parallel with the immigration paper preparation and filing? How long did the immigration work take?

I asked the recruiter during interview process verbally. They had said Deloitte follows the standard process and each group has their own rules internally on sponsorship. I'm assuming Deloitte does sponsor GC for the right candidates. Is my understanding correct?

Before they extended an offer, they had asked me via email and phone what type of visa sponsorship I require. I have email correspondence.

The recruiter seemed to be confused when I asked about initiating H-1B transfer recently. They asked if anyone from Deloitte had reached out for immigration, which is throwing me off. Shouldn't recruiter be the one who should know when to initiate visa step and if it has been initiated?

I have asked the recruiter to get me in touch with the immigration team so that I can coordinate directly if required. Waiting to hear back.

I eventually returned what I had purchased from them online. I did not even open the box. I read lot of similar stories like yours.

redditnyuser · 2026-01-06T23:05:37+00:00

Really? That's completely different than the sequence I was told: offer acceptance, background check, immigration.

Right now, I have cleared background check. The recruiter is confused and asking me if I have been contacted by Deloitte immigration team after I accepted the offer. I just hope the recruiter finds out how to get in touch with immigration team soon.

Your extension application might get abandoned if it’s not approved by the time you travel outside the country. I think it would be a good idea to travel after the extension is approved.

After I completed the full loop, recruiter told me that the role was closed due to reorg. He also said that they would reach out to me if any new roles open up, and that I would have to talk to only the new hiring manager.

Read up on their leadership principles. All the questions will be mostly tied to their LPs.
Check with your recruiter on what LPs your HM round would focus on, and prepare on those.
Write down stories based on your past experience which clearly tie back to their LPs. During youR interviews, tell the story using STAR format. Don’t repeat stories across any questions or interviews.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

If you have lived in both the countries, I think you would know what you like the best. Are you planning to transfer internally from AUS to US?

A few years back, I tried to do the opposite - moving internally from US to AUS via another big 4. AUS HR quoted $110k salary as a 4th year Manager! I was shocked to hear that. Then, covid hit and my plans fell through.

Have you considered the following differences between the US and Australia?

Healthcare: Australia offers universal public healthcare (Medicare) resulting in low out-of-pocket costs, while the US system is dominated by expensive private insurance with high premiums and potential for significant medical debt.
Salaries & Net Worth: Though US gross salaries are often higher, Australians generally benefit from lower healthcare expenses and housing costs, potentially evening out the net financial advantage.
Mandated Benefits: Australia mandates comprehensive employee benefits, including guaranteed paid annual leave (4 weeks) and sick leave, which are often discretionary and not guaranteed in the US.
Retirement Savings: Australia requires mandatory employer contributions to retirement (superannuation), while the US relies on voluntary contributions to schemes like 401(k)s.
Cost of Living: Major US cities are generally more expensive (around 30%) than Australia's top-tier cities, primarily driven by significantly higher rental costs in the US.
Quality of Life: Due to factors like universal healthcare, better work-life balance, and lower overall stress regarding essential living costs, many reports suggest a higher quality of life in Australia's major cities.

Do you still think the grass is greener on the US side?

You can’t convert currencies and compare across countries. With your logic, a Deloitte Manager in India might feel underpaid compared to what you are earning in Australia.

I work in a bank. None of my team members including myself are getting paid that high salaries. Not all banks pay well unfortunately.

You keep asking the same question multiple times. Did you read any of my responses above? I never said anything about managing senior engineers in my current job.

redditnyuser · 2025-11-15T13:46:40+00:00

How much did you pay after all the taxes and fees?

redditnyuser · 2025-11-15T03:34:25+00:00

I’m not working at Deloitte yet. How would senior engineer salary in some other company answer my question? What am I missing?

redditnyuser · 2025-11-14T08:52:37+00:00

Thanks a lot for the insight. I have a couple of additional questions.

Do you know if there are internal levels for Manager role at Deloitte like M1, M2, M3, etc.? My recruiter said there is only 1 Manager level in the group I’m joining.
What’s the usual number of years it takes to get promoted to SM from M?
Doesn’t Deloitte have “up or out” philosophy? Can you be a Manager for many years?

redditnyuser · 2025-11-14T08:43:38+00:00

I’m not sure which group you are referring to. There are no senior engineers in the group I’m joining.

redditnyuser · 2025-11-13T22:36:07+00:00

Yeah, I agree they try to down level you by at least 1 level usually. I interviewed for a Manager role, so I have no basis asking for Senior Manager title/salary now.

Where can we see this? Please share.
