Current job and offered job are both based in Indiana. Current job with Cummins provides reliable immigration support. Stage 1 of my permanent residency process has been initiated and my estimate is, I am roughly 21 months away from Stage 2 i.e. an approved I-140. If I accept an offer with this startup, I will have to restart my permanent residency process. My estimate is this puts me roughly 28 months away from an approved I-140. That’s about all the time I have left on my h1b visa. I have asked if this startup can premium process my I-140 but so far, they have been reluctant to do so. Poll: what would you do? Does the offered TC justify joining a startup and risking immigration status? Current TC Base salary - 91k Target variable comp - 8% Offered TC Base salary - 104k Variable comp - 6% to 10% Pre-IPO stock options - 20,000 vested over 4 years #equity #startup #cummins
It will come to 20ish more every year vs sooner stage 2. Whatever this startup end up saying, unless its part of your offer or documented (or until they actually file), i would not consider the premium processing a done deal
Not enough of a TC bump to switch.
I hear you. The only potential for a higher TC bump comes from the offer’s pre-IPO stock options but it is difficult to attach a value.
What kind of startup are we talking? Fintech vs autonomous vehicles vs web3 vs checkout vs something Add more context, else get bad feedback
Gotcha. The startup’s in battery or energy storage system industries.
Stay at Cummins Move to NPBU Taking a bet on startups in battery or energy storage industries is a huge gamble Cummins will show you what the practical issues are at scaling, these startups might not and once you move out of Cummins it will be hard to come back
Name of startup?
I wanted to put that on here but later thought that might turn out to be too much info
