If the person has a job lined up it might make sense. But coming to the US now and trying to find a job might be difficult. Obviously, the immigration system is more challenging, so obtaining a work visa might be difficult. And the job market isn't great. So there's definitely a lot of risk involved.
This is what they’re concerned about. It’s an internal move within their company so they’ll also cover the work visa but I think there’s a lot more to think about
What do they do in particular? There might be better independent news options here in the US. But if they're looking to work for legacy media, I don't think it's a great idea. So many jobs have been cut and resources are slim. Not to mention the competition is incredibly stiff. I'd probably tell them to try and find a role BEFORE moving here.
They’re based in digital media, I think the cutting of jobs is affecting both US and UK so that makes the decision even harder
I think it depends on their industry and how much flexibility they have. The US job market can be rewarding, but visa processes, healthcare costs, and work culture shifts are real factors.
The US media industry is shifting fast—traditional roles are shrinking while digital and streaming are growing. It is risky but possible if they have strong experience, adapt easily, and build connections. Remote roles could be a smart first step before relocating.
So they’re based in digital and it’s all internal within the company they’re currently working at which is a pro. I just feel like there’s so much movement in the industry at the moment (across both continents) that this feels a risky move
Only if you have a job in hand
Agreed, you wouldn’t even get a work visa without that I don’t think
