Very difficult unless you’re from Canada, Mexico, Chile, Singapore or Australia. If you’re not from those countries, you have three options:

H-1b: most companies sponsor for this visa for existing us students and overseas employees. This requires a lottery so sponsoring someone they don’t know will be hard.

L-1A/l-1b: you’re only eligible for this visa after you work at a company for a year.

O-1: you need academic qualifications.

Thank you so much for your response! I will look into each visa type and their requirements

Adding to G1’s list:

F1: Go to college in any accredited university in the US. Once you‘ve been in school for a year, you can get an OPT permit that allows you to work. OR get a TN status change which also allows you to work in the US.

Thank you !!!!

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
