Has anyone here emigrated from UK to the US without having an inter company link (transferring to a US office at the same company). I have a masters degree and looking for a career change to align with my degree but not sure how it works without working for a company who has a US base? Thanks in advance

Depending on the type of your degree… but most of us need to get an employer to either 1) apply for H1b, depending on the type of business for profit or non profit. If for profit, the h1b is a lottery system and it is done once a year. If non profit, a company can probably apply for it. (You have to check on it. I did not go this route) or 2) go through a GC process (PERM -> I-140 -> I-485). This process is like 2-3 years…

Good luck with your research on immigration and search for the company.

The main US work visa is an H-1B, which is a lottery since demand exceeds the number of places. An H-1B requires a US company to sponsor you.

An inter-company transfer means that your current company is the sponsor and you avoid the H-1B lottery by entering on an L-1 work visa.
