Since I got that initial reply, I have been looking into it. It seems like I was very naive indeed! The follow-up question would of course then be, how likely/wide-spread is it that companies will sponsor working visas for new tech-hires? I assume that it would be more likely if already being employed in a company, that then sent you to USA as an expat.
