Getting a job as a foreigner in the US

[w4read]

Does anyone here have experience in finding a job and getting a working visa in the united states? What would be the best strategy to be able to move, while at the same time finding a job that aligns with my purpose?

Depends highly what country you're from, what your education is, what your career field is, how much money you have.

If you're a high school graduate working retail, it'll be almost impossible to get a working visa, or to find a company willing to sponsor you.

If you have like $500,000 to start a business in the US you can literally buy your way in.

Read all the categories on the side EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 etc and find one that applies to you. If none of them do, you're out of luck.
