I've been a consultant for over 5 years, first few years at a big four and a couple at a smaller consultancy (which does not have a North American office).
If I wanted a move to the US, what is best way to do this?
I do not have a right to work in the US so the company would have to sponsor me, which I understand is quite uncommon (for external recruits).
My current research suggests I could move if:
1 - My current company expand to US (not happening)
2 - I get a student visa (too expensive in terms of actual and opportunity cost)
3 - A US-based company recruit me and sponsor my visa (very uncommon)
4 - I move to an international firm in London, and after x months, second/transfer to the US practice (no guarantees of "x" months or second/transfer)
Any suggestions / thoughts?
Thanks
G
