Looking for new jobs in US.. suggestions please
Folks, planning to move out from current job. have 10 years in IT. skill set include java, j2ee, spring, spring boot, microservices , aws, devops etc.. .. no location constraints .. bit confused whether to look for contracts or full time.. currently on H1B ..Any suggestions on companies ? Current TC= 95K
It is better to go for FTE... at this situation, don’t go for consulting even though rates may be tempting... I recently got an offer for FTE... this is what I followed, Took a list of all full time/direct client type companies who sponsor visa... used both job sites & myvisajobs site... then did a quick prep & took interview with some consulting companies for interviews experience... then applied FTE for those companies who sponsor visa... also networked with friends on big 4 consulting companies for referrals... tried in that order such Full time client then big 4 consulting firms and got an offer from full time client... waiting for visa transfer process...
Which ft company is that? Can u share? Also when new company starts h1 transfer does your old company know like in ur case would cognizant know that this new company has filed for h1 transfer and you will be jumping ship soon?
Current company won't know I guess
Thanks.
Join the line behind me after customary TC or GTFO!!

My 100 cents. Don't go consulting, unless you are very very desperate about your H1-B status. No location constraints, good. Indeed, Hired, LinkedIn are excellent sources for job openings for fte. If you have a list of preferred companies, go to their career pages, apply, then find a recruiter on LinkedIn and pursue them until they can get you a phone interview. Research is more important than mastering anything at this point in career. LC and plenty of mock behavioral practice, again research should be the focus. ATB - all the best.
