Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for a lot of users, thus I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • There are many strategy consulting firms that offer sponsorship for H1B visas, regardless of their size or focus. Still, almost all large strategy consulting firms – which all provide public sector consulting – sponsor H1B visas.
  • However, it can sometimes be challenging to secure sponsorship, as the demand for H1B visas often exceeds the available supply.
    • Some firms may be more likely to sponsor visas for certain types of projects or clients, such as those in the public sector. These firms may have a strong presence in certain regions or industries, and may have a particular expertise in working with governments, non-profits, and international organizations.
    • On the other hand, smaller firms may have a more limited budget for sponsorship, and may be more selective in their sponsorship decisions.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on what to do in your specific situation, please feel free to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hello,

Here are my thoughts:

1) If you are looking for large management consulting firms, then typically all of them sponsor H1B. The only bottleneck is to get through the H1B lottery.

2) And most of the large management consulting firms do a lot of public sector work. Especially in those states where public sector projects are more common e.g. in DC 

3) If you are looking for boutique firms that specialize only in public sector work, then the challenge is sponsorship. Small firms with limited budget for this may be willing to sponsor once, but not three times.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

Most of the larger firms (MBB, Big Four, etc.) tend to sponsor and most have public/social sector focuses. The office you select is going to drastically impact the latter (as in, Washington D.C. will have the most public sector focus while a place like Houston would likely have “none”).

Make sure to network in order to not only improve your chances but also see which ones are actively offering sponsorships!

Hello!

Overall I woudl say, all “serious and big” companies (i.e., not startups in early stages) will sponsor H1Bs. Ofc, MBB or Tier 2 are safe choices in the US, and all of them do at least some public sector. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
