Ask HN: How to get a job in US?
I am a python-django developer in India looking to move to US. I have sent my resume to a few people now and they like what they see but when it comes to relocation(work permit) they say sorry. I was wondering is there any company in NY, LA or SF willing to offer relocation.

- rprasad 14y agoThere are plenty. They do not advertise open positions because that always results in a flood of applications that overwhelms their ability to scrutinize the applicants. Find someone in the U.S. who is in the django market, and get to know them. (Google Plus, etc.) They can get you in touch with the right company (i.e., willing to help relocate, including visa issues) at the right time. You will probably have to do some contract work for U.S. companies first, however, so they can scope out whether its first going through the expense and hassle of relocating you.
- subrat_rout 14y agoIt will be hard to land a job in US. For Indian national, there are mostly two ways you can do. One is by H1b which is the common route but the company needs to sponsor you for that. If a US company can n't find any talent in US and you apply and convince them that you will bring tremendous value then they will sponsor you. The other route is to work for a MNC in India and get an intracompany transfer(L1).
