Deloitte Canada to US Move - Request for Help! [No Sponsorship needed from Deloitte]
Background:
I am working in Deloitte Canada, Montreal office for 3 years. I work as a Solution Design Engineer implementing Salesforce based solutions for the client. My performance snapshots have been excellent through out my tenure here and have been awarded for my client work.
Certifications: Salesforce AI associate certificate; Salesforce Admin and Data Cloud [In progress]
I am planning to move to US on an H4 visa. My husband's i140 is approved, so Deloitte doesn't have to worry about any visa, employment authorization. My husband lives in Bay Area, so getting a job offer in San Jose or SF will be best.
Current Scenario:
From what I have understood, Deloitte Canada and US works as separate entities and my manager and other seniors have told me that internal transfer is not possible. They have told that the only option is to put down my paper and apply separately again to Deloitte US after the move. I have reached out to my resource manager and she doesn't have enough leads in the US ☹️. So I am eventually in a limbo. I have loved working at Deloitte and given the current job scenario I prefer to stay in Deloitte for a few years at least.
Because of other personal reasons, I plan to make a move as early as I can. Preferably by the end of March 2024.
- How can I find partners in Deloitte US who might be working with team similar to my skill sets?
- Can I cold-email or message resource managers within Deloitte US through internal portals?
- What other options should I explore?
- I have heard we have hiring freeze in Deloitte US. How true is that?
It will also be very helpful if anyone in this sub-reddit can help me in securing a similar position in Deloitte US or if they have any leads on this. 🙏🏻😊
