Hi, I am an international student working (F-1 visa)on contract with Verizon via third party(Brillio). Is it a good idea to keep on working for Verizon on contract via third party or switch to a full time position? Note: I will be getting a pay decrement in full time position but I feel more secured from Visa perspectives. Please suggest!
If you are working as a full time employee, then the probability of getting RFEs in case your H1B filing gets picked is low.
Make sure if they can provide you H-1B.
Full Time >>>>>>>>>>> Consulting. I had been a Consultant for 11 years. Not lucrative in any aspect. Leetcode and move FTE anywhere.
I have worked in brillio for around 3+ years in projects where you have to be a consultant and I can tell you that FTE pay a lot more and plus more benefits than what brillio gives. I'm not sure how you are saying that contractor position you getting paid more.
Certain orgs at Verizon do not offer sponsorship. Better have that conversation with your manager.
