If you’re in a “central” location (London, Frankfurt, Brussels, maybe Paris) there’s a good chance you can just ask your partner nicely to spend a year (maybe as a foreign associate?) then build your relationship to stay there (thinking pre-Covid of course). That is, if you’re not - too - junior.

How junior? And what's your work authorization situation?

Curious, why do you want to work in NYC over whatever European city you’re in?
