Do you already have experience in consulting? If you, try building an online community with American consultants. Ask for advice/referrals.

Stay knowledgable on trends in the US market. Apply to internships and entry level jobs.

All about connections. Start building/nurturing your network ASAP.

If you already have experience has a consultant that will help. Networking through LinkedIn helps. I also try to join some Facebook groups as well. Sometimes, people will put job ads in those groups. Good luck!

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
