Bro Guru!
It is sad to be in these situations. I believe you have 60 days of grace period to still be in h-1b from your last pay cheque date.
But apart from joining consultancy and hassle to get admitted in any consultancy, you should have also an option of studying master in the different field in the meantime just to be in status. I know there are a couple of schools where you can enroll in Master program in the middle. There are some schools in the east coast where they have the quarter system instead of Semester. You don't have to wait until Jan to join. You can enroll in their fall quarter second half. In the meantime, you will be f-1 status and studying master program. You can still apply for Ph.D. in your desired school or some other school. And as you get accepted you can just leave the master program or get your sevis transfer for PHD.
Let me know how these thought sounds to you.
Feel free to share the knowledge.
