Need advice: J1 or H1B?

Hi Guys,


I need some advice. I am currently in OPT (STEM). I have two job offers for postdoc positions (both academic). Both are equally good institutions. One employer (say A) is offering J1 Visa only whereas other (say B) is ready to sponsor H1B. But the pay scale of A is almost as double as offered by B. I understand the basic difference and advantages/disadvantages of both visa category and it also depends upon person’s preference. I have to decide soon and now I am confused about which offer I should accept. I would appreciate if you could share your experience and/or provide some advice in this regard.


Thank you in advance.   


Cheers,
