I’m a Canadian looking to snag a role with a US FinTech start-up. Any tips on the best way to go about doing this? Am I basically DoA if I need visa sponsorship? I have a consulting/corporate strategy background and am looking for something in SalesOps or BizOps.

Not going to lie, as a US citizen I've had a hard time with it, and out of 2
+100 that I've seen, I clearly remember reading only 1 that said they are open to sponsorship. I read the whole description and that sticks out to me since I have family in need of sponsorship.

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level.
