Heya, canadian here! I moved to the UK 7 years ago, been on visas since. If you’re under 30-something you can easily get a youth mobility visa to most of the commonwealth countries without the need for a sponsor. I did that (immigrated when I was 26), and then worked my way to get sponsors until I could get permanent residency

For US specific if that’s what you’re after I think intra business move would be ideal if you can!

I’m in LA from Toronto on an intra company transfer. The process took a while as the move was 2021, mid Covid, but once the paperwork was submitted (company paid to expedite) my visa was approved in 3 weeks. I am on an L1-A. This is definitely the easiest bet, I think outside hire visas from a U.S. company requires them to prove why you’re more skilled than hiring a U.S. citizen.

Intra company transfer is the most popular way to do it. You can also apply and/or network to get a visa or sponsorship but it's not easy...I did it briefly to move to Europe but it took A LOT of applying to get to it

Hey bowls, how much CTC can be expected at MTS4 at netapp after being promoted from MTS3.

If I invested a small amount through a SAFE and the company is now kicking off a seed round that will be a priced round, should I invest in more in the company before or after this seed round? Assume I have the money and the risk appetite - just want to know if my money buys more before or after the priced round.

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
