Green Card at RA vs Associate in BB
I have been a long time user of this forum and have always found the insights of some of the contributors invaluable. I received a recent offer at a top BB and am debating whether to accept. If anyone out there has any advice on the below I would appreciate it.
Background: I'm a foreigner with ~2 yrs left on an H1-B. I was an analyst at a BB for 3 yrs.
Current Position: Associate at RA that offered, in writing, to support and finance half of my part time MBA (if I went full time I'd graduate without a GC and 1 yr OPT and >2 yrs H1-B) and has already started my Green Card application.
New Offer: Recently, I received an associate offer at a top BB (GS/MS/JPM) that is starting a group in my area of expertise. This could be a great opportunity to move up and take on a lot more responsibility than the avg Associate.
Issue: However the offer at the BB does not come with a green card and after 2 yrs they'd probably have to relocate me for a year and bring me back on an inter company transfer Visa. This is very risky since this top BB only applies for a GC at the VP level and I am unlikely to reach it in 1yr and 8 mos.
Do any of you have some thoughts? The GC is a pretty big asset and the new offer seems like a great way up the ladder, but only if the group performs AND the transfer out and back to the U.S. works out.
You have probably asked them, but if this is such an important point for you and likely not very important for the decision maker who wants to hire you, might they be willing to sponsor you for GC right away? Looks like it is a good fit both ways.
