I'm considering looking to USA (SFO/SD/TX) for work. I'm Australian with 4-5 YOE and an MSc with pretty unique technical skills.

Any advice?

That being said yes its a good time in my life to explore more and take more risks.

Work for a company with US offices. E-3 visa is absurdly easy to obtain.

Absolutely impartial for sure, haha.

My husband is an engineer who moved from Australia to SF 6 years ago and it was the best decision for his career. One word of advice is when you do start to look for jobs, use your network to refer you into companies. When he was applying online, they always asked if he needed a visa, and he would get removed automatically. Most companies just assume it's an H1-B, and they don't realize that an E-3 visa is an easy process. He landed at a great company, but he only got in through a referral.

Thanks! That's really helpful advice. 😊 I had a similar experience with a lot of British companies not resizing that I could easily get a T5 visa (similar to E-3). Some companies listened and took that into account but it was rare. End of the day I got a job there that sponsored me for a T2 anyway... though those are easier than an H1-B.

Will definitely start to work my network a best I can.

just be ready for the weird differences. for example, our USBs get inserted in the opposite direction up in this hemisphere.

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take?
