Hi Guys, I have accepted Apple offer and the H1B transfer is in process. Expected join date at Apple is Mid september. I'm also expecting a positive outcome from Google. I'm not sure how should I proceed when Google offer comes. Poll A: Join Apple and then switch to Google? Again H1B transfer Poll B: Don't join Apple and directly join Google I have been low balled in Apple. So would prefer Google if it's positive. Also Currently Google is not aware of Apple. Should I be honest and talk to G recruiter about all this or keep mum? Current TC: 140K Apple TC: 180K
you should prob wait until you know the details of the google offer.
Then put a poll
do not tell G you are reneging on Apple. they will drop you for integrity.
If you tell G that you have accepted Apple while waiting google they might rescind it
You can use Apple offer as a counter. Negotiate with Google and join Google
Best advice
If u havent mentioned apple yet don’t mention it now. Got reneged by doing this
Google level?
It’s okay to tell Google you have a counter offer. It’s not okay to tell Google that you’re reneging on an offer you accepted, because that is an ethical concern. Personally, I’d tell about the counter offer, speed up Google’s process, directly join Google instead of Apple.
No, you don’t get blacklisted. Companies are aware that the market is very competitive and a lot of people do this. If they started blacklisting, they’d lose out on a huge talent pool.
What if I delay start date at Google , and work for Apple for 2 months ? In that way, I will not be rescinding Apple offer

You should tell Google recruiter. They'll speed up decision making process
Your h1b will become a bridge petition and you need to wait until it gets approved, talk to an attorney asap
Is the process different for bridge compared to normal ? If yes, I will have to tell google that H1B has transferred to Apple, so that they can file bridge petition
H1b Transfer is not really a transfer but a 'copy'. Meaning, even if Apple transfer went through, your H1B at current company is still valid. That said, for G you just file H1B transfr from your current company and apple transfer just becomes irrelavant. Of course, above isnt legal advice so please consult attorney to ensure. And the most important thing rn is to push G to speed things up.
Put a poll instead.
