It is a mind numbingly boring company
And your second point is completely wrong. The wait times for people from countries like India is so long that you can change your job multiple times before your priority date can become effective. In my year or so at the company, I know of 4-5 people on visas who had been here for less than 3 or so years that left, but I barely know of any citizen leaving in this timeframe.
By the way, you just contradicted yourself with your last point. Initially, you said "retention rate is high because of the long GC lines" and now you say "you don't see many immigrants with long tenure". Make up your mind!
Changing jobs while you are within the limit of 6 year of H1 is easy, but once those 6 years expire, the visa extension happens based on I140, so it becomes a bit risky to change after that. Given the uncertainty in administration, and the time it takes to get I140 approved, Not many people will move as frequently after those 6 years of H1.
For my last point, let me say clarify that. Medium term retention is high because of GC wait times, but long term retention is not that high, because once immigrants get GC, they leave for better places & things.
I’m not confident I can answer your question but I will say that if you’re looking for good work/life balance and see work as a means to live (like me), go to Bloomberg and get paid. I’ve only worked at one place before but Bloomberg is such a huge difference and it’s so easy to see that everyone’s so much happier here. Granted I’ve made much more of an impact before, but the quality of people I work with (as people, not as any game of wits or who’s smarter than who) is great and people are genuinely out to help each other both within and outside the firm (philanthropy). I’m here for the paycheck and the people — the work itself is not as important to me. Mostly everyone here on blind seem to care about the tech stack / TC so to each their own but go with whatever you think is right for you.
