Money or EB1?

Feb 6, 2018 40 Comments

I’m a PM at MSFT making 170K a year.

Got offered a PM role in Google with TC close to 300K.

Also got some calls from MSFT teams in Canada which could lead me to a EB1 in 3-4 years.

Ps: am an Indian stuck in green card backlog for last 11 years.

What’s your call dear Blinders?

    Also from my experience the golden rule in your life is never spend time waiting for something to happen. Fuck that GC stuff and fuck the American immigration system. Do whatever is actually important to your career. But if you have a family you might just ignore what I said

  • Google might also let you relocate to a different country and you can replay the EB1 bet once you establish. Worst case, google India one year and back???

    Vancouver sucks. Imagine Seattle but worse in every way (except Chinese food). Take the Google $$$ - you can always go to Canada, they have merit based immigration. Be educated and skilled (seems like you are) and you'll get a green card upon arrival.

      Ok agree to disagree. Many people live in Vancouver and enjoy it (I personally enjoy the East Coast much more). But you gotta both agree Canada is much easier to move to as a backup for people in tech with their merit based immigration.

    • Absolutely it is much easier. Hence why I think for most people coming to the US, they should strongly consider Canada as well.

    Google. Don’t play multi level chess with this. So many things can go wrong with your EB1 plan.
