Visa Sponsorship: The majority of consultants will be sponsored by The NAFTA (TN) visa. This visa has a one-year duration renewable every year for 12 years. The advantage of the TN is it is far easier to get and only applies to Canada and Mexico and takes 4-6 weeks to receive. The B1 visa is a business visa sponsored by MCC. This visa is for training or short-term business trips. This visa lasts for up to 6 months and takes 1-2 days to apply for. Upon eligibility, MCC will assist with obtaining visas (TD, H-4) for family members of its consultants.

Salary: All MCC consultants are paid a salary that is above the industry average for the area in which they work. Consultants will have their first salary review after 6 months, their second review at one year, and then an annual salary reviews thereafter.

Health Benefits: MCC offers full medical and dental coverage for each consultant. Complete details on our medical benefits plan can be found on MCC’s website or in your job offer package.

Other Benefits: All MCC consultants are given 13 paid time off days annually, this includes vacation, sick and compensation days; plus 6 paid holidays.

Relocation: MCC pays for the relocation of each consultant to his or her place of work in the United States. This includes airfare and temporary lodging in their new place of work. MCC will also provide assistance in finding an apartment.

Hometown Grant: MCC strongly believes in giving back to the community. MCC will provide a grant of USD $1000 in each consultant’s name to the church, community center, or education center from the consultant’s local community after completion of 6 months of successful consulting in the United States.

"Next-Door" Develpment Center: MCC has "next-door" software development center in Mexico City and Mazatlan to provide software develpment services to its U.S. and Mexican clientele in order to capitalize on the high growth trend of "next-door" outsourcing. Successful consultants will have the opportunity to join us in our "next-door" development center when they decide to return to Mexico.

Cost of Living Comparison: The cost of living in the United States varies dramatically between cities. If a consultant earns $60,000 a year in Dallas, Texas, he or she would have to earn $157,000 to have the equivalent lifestyle in San Francisco and $263,000 in New York City. When evaluating salary offers, please pay close attention to what city an offer is for and whether a cost of living allowance (COLA) is included. MCC will always adjust salaries accordingly to what area a consultant is working and includes market rates for your skillset. In other words, a consultant will receive an appropriate COLA for higher cost cities. Below is a standard comparison of cost living between cities. The base line is $55,000 in Dallas. Please look at http://verticals.yahoo.com/cities/salary.html to run your own comparison. The below comparison does not mean that is your salary equivalent, but serves as a cost of living equivalent

Living Expenses: The single largest living expense you will face when you relocate to the United States is housing. Housing costs vary dramatically from place to place. A one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is over $2,500 a month but the same one in Dallas, TX is only $600 per month. Additionally, each state has a different tax. Some states have an income tax and other do not. Here is a breakdown of expected living expenditures for two different cities, Dallas, Texas and San Francisco, CA. For Dallas, a salary of $55,000 will be used and for San Francisco, a salary of $90,000 will be used. These are the median salaries for a software engineer with 5 years of U.S. experience and a Computer Science degree.

As can be seen, the larger salary in San Francisco is more than offset by the much higher cost of living. There are suburbs of San Francisco that offer lower cost housing in the $1200-$1500 range but they require a substantial commute.
