Need help with making a decision

May 27, 2021 12 Comments

Hello,

I am an international student and recently completed my Bachelor's in IT with a minor in Business. I am currently on OPT(temp work authorization) but require sponsorship to work after a couple of years. I have few offers but I am not really sure what to do. Please Help!

1. Accenture:
Pay: $80k + Bonus
Role: Analyst - Cloud Advisory
Joined last month. They said I can work until my OPT but can not sponsor. I can work here for 2.5 years and then get married and move on to my husband's visa (no sponsorship will be required) or just find a new job in the meantime.
I can ask them to sponsor but it may jeopardize my employment.

2. Goldman Sachs:
Pay: $60k + Bonus
Role: Operations Analyst
Interested in operations and GS will sponsor which is a major plus point. Less pay and have to
move across the country though.

3. Optum:
Pay: $72k + Bonus
Role: Advisory Analyst - Consulting Development Program
They are okay with OPT but not sure if they sponsor. I interned with them last summer and have to move to the mid-west

4. AT&T:
Pay: $89k + Bonus
Role: Project Manager
This is the perfect job for me but they are unable to sponsor. I can work here for some time and then get married and move on my husband's visa (no sponsorship will be required) or just find a new job if it doesn't work out.

GS is the only one sponsoring so far for sure but very less pay and I need to move.

Sponsorship would be great but I also don't want to lose the other opportunities so I am confused.

Please share some recommendations/thoughts along with long-term benefits of the company/role, growth opportunities, sponsorship.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
