Hi All

I'm in talks with the HR and the bosses on moving into the USA on a L1 visa. The location is flexible but seems Chicago, NJ, NY are most likely. MA, MD, VA could also be the case.

Currently in Band 6V in an architecture and consulting area, been with VZ for 8 years, total YOE is 25 out of which Managerial/Sales/Architecture is 18 years. MBA Executive from a top school, graduated in 2010.

Considering my payrises have been minimal over the last couple of years I'm guessing I'm at the top of the band.

TC today (base + bonus + retirement fund contribution) = $247K.

Some other international transferees have mentioned that VZ is not as generous in the US as Internationally so ~10% hit should be expected. So I want to validate just that and to get any idea whether I could go above that number. I expect the salary conversation to take place in the next couple of weeks

Thanks!

    It totally depends. Where are you moving from? Do you have any other offers?

      I think for a director level person VZ has massively low balled you. Chicago, NJ/NY will pay a lot more than what you’re being offered. Your best bet is to come to US, get your gc and explore other options. A minor detail that many people miss in the US immigration system is that nationality doesn’t matter. Your CoB matters. Even if you’re not from Indochina region but you’re born in either of those countries you are going to face a long wait.

      I did not miss that specific detail. Luckily for me, there is no CoB penalty, so, if VZ gets me over on a L1A, GC won't be a major issue, just things happening in their due time.

      The specific suburbs I was eyeing in Chicagoland (North Shore) and NJ (areas around Basking Ridge), had a combined household income in vicinity of 250K with the majority (circa 90%) of residents having either Masters or some University degree, if data on Niche is of any use... So I assumed the single income of $250k was a good enough deal (I did not drill into statistical outliers of course), especially judging based on my own standing within where I am today....

      I'm sure I will update on how I will go with the negotiations. Thanks again for sharing your perspectives, much appreciated!

      Yep. A substantial International Operation. All the good US companies with the international operation need our services everywhere. We are in 150 countries :)

      Obviously not speaking of Wireless or FIOS. Telco business and security
