Ask HN: How to find a job as Java software developer in USA?
4 comments
You would need to find an employer who is willing to sponsor an employment visa. Then you would have to apply to the US government for an employment visa with that employer as your sponsor.
Ironically though if I could live in any other country I would pick Norway.

USA might just not be a place to accomplish this goal

Unless you know a handful of JS frameworks, you'll have a tough time. And even if you do, it still might not be easy. Good luck getting past the AI-powered resume scanners that most HR departments use.

think the visa hurdle is the big one. even if you have a strong background, a lot of companies hesitate unless they already have an immigration pipeline set up. another angle could be looking for remote roles at US companies first, then trying to convert that into relocation later. a bit longer path but sometimes more realistic.
good luck.
I currently live in Oslo Norway, and work for a company which makes accounting software.
I am 43 years old, have a master degree in computer science and single. I have been to USA multiple times, and I want to live in the land of freedom and opportunity.
