I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!
Hard? I know people around me struggling to find work. Ghost jobs are all over the place, local USA residents are struggling to find jobs. There are local residents ready to hired everywhere.
I appreciate your perspective, thanks for sharing. Mine is that great engineers are extremely hard to find, given there are many more jobs available to them than there are folks searching right now. For nearly every other role, the opposite is true, and hiring local talent is very possible.
There's really no waiting period. Startups generally can sponsor foreign nationals without issue. Certain minor and very easy company-related requirements need to be in place but that's it.
