Ask HN: Tips for finding entry level ML jobs (in Seattle)?
I'm going to be moving to Seattle, and have been working for a startup with focus on ML applied to heavy-industry/utilities, for the past year.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem viable (nor legal - I will be on a P4 visa) to continue employment with them remotely.
For that reason, I'm currently looking for opportunities in Seattle, that would want to hire an entry level ML engineer AND sponsor a work visa.
Any tips? Do you think I'm very hindered by the visa requirement?
- sansnomme 8y agoMove to Vancouver (half-serious, but it's a good option)
- yunothrowaway 8y agoNot quite an option in my particular case. I'm moving cause my wife got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Seattle, so being in Seattle is a requirement :) Edit: typo.
- sansnomme 8y agoYou can commute (either to or from) Vancouver, or find a remote job in Vancouver. (check with your lawyer regarding doing remote work while living in the US) There are tons of startups in Vancouver, some of which can afford to pay you a Seattle-level salary.
- bielsdown 8y agoIs the job market in Vancouver really that good in the software/ data science area?

- yunothrowaway 8y agoCommute ~3h each way a day? My understanding is that under a P-4 visa I'm not even allowed to work remotely
- samfisher83 8y agoNever hear of a p visa. I googled it and its for athletes and entertainers. Maybe the local sports teams are looking for analytics people?
- yunothrowaway 8y agoMy wife is a pro athlete, she got a P-1 visa. I have a "spouse" visa, associated to hers, P-4. It just allows me to be in the US, but not much else.
- hackermailman 8y agoCheck myvisajobs.com for Seattle. There's also Algorithmia, they hire Canadians for remote so maybe can sponsor you too.
