May. because you can apply h1 visa applications start april 1 so u have almost one year to find a job that will sponsor your h1. if u graduate december u have 4 months to find a job that will sponsor your h1

It does not matter if your planing to join a consultancy. Usually it's very rare that company would file your H-1 directly before testing you on your OPT tenure which in any case will be 29 months for you. Job market is fair in both December and May.
