Hello:
I am a “third world” citizen. I have worked with a big5 firm in Hong Kong for under a year in a technology consulting position. I have most of the latest technology skills (Java, PHP, Oracle, XML, Intershop etc), am a top class communicator — have been a journalist in my country before — and have a Masters degree.
I recently left the big5 for a start-up consulting firm here in Hong Kong, where my salary is what I believe I deserve — triple the amount that I used to get with thebig5. Also, I am in a more senior position now: I lead the IT team.
However, I realise that I am now interested in moving to the US for a more global experience.
Questions:
1. Will big firms in USA (big5, Scient/Sapients, management consulting firms) directly recruit from Asia?
2. What about the immigration hurdles?
I’d appreciate any pointers/advice!
Thanks.
