Anyone have experience moving from AUS to US without an internal company office transfer?

Currently at a T2 looking to transfer to similar consulting, PE ops, or corporate strat role. AU citzen, do not have US Visa. Personal situation will make internal office transfer difficult so looking for alternatives.

Any recruitment contacts you could recommend? Assuming direct application to companies would have a very low success rate.

Thanks a lot.

Have you looked into the E3 visa. It’s exclusively for Australians and it never hits its max quota I believe

like

Yes, E3 visa does make it easier. However still need a signed offer letter to get it. Companies would need to be willing to sponsor - even if it is very low cost, low complexity process for E3.

I have started reaching out to recruiters and my network for firms open to this so I don't get dinged at the application stage.

You’ll want to target the consulting companies because they sponsor H-1Bs — and an E-3 is way more attractive than an H-1B. You will probably have to network your way in though. I think clicking the “needs sponsorship” box in the application is often an automatic rejection.

Not sure about PE, but American corporate strategy roles do not sponsor. I was working in corporate strategy at an American multinational before moving to AUS, and I passed along a perfect fit for a role we were recruiting for, but s/he was rejected that moment they learned s/he needed sponsorship.
