Coming from the UK with language proficiency, I would recommend getting a job in a company that will later be able to transfer you overseas, of course they will only do so if you really impress them, and when you're first getting a job getting your foot in the door, I wouldn't even bring up that that was a long term aspiration. The reason it's tough to accept a net new applicant from abroad except with those unicorn credentials, is there's that level of risk that this net new applicant won't pan out and all of a sudden the the company has wasted a visa sponsorship on that.
- EnderMB 8y agoI live in a decent-sized UK city, but I think I'd struggle to find any roles where the company has. 1. Has interesting/non-soul-destroying work. 2. Has a NYC office that shares a development department 3. Has an open culture of relocating It sounds like a huge risk to move to a job you probably wouldn't choose otherwise, on the potential possibility that you might be able to move you and your family abroad. Given your company would need to match all three prerequisites above, you'd also probably have slim pickings unless you already live in a major city.
