How to get an internship in a startup if you are not from America?
8 comments
eh? if you find a startup that works remote ( I know PG doesn't like it, but it does save a lot of time and effort, and really opens up the number of applicants) you can avoid all the visa bullshit.
<p>
even if you want to come down here, other than visa bullshit, it should be easy for the startup company. The big problem right now is that with the economy how it is right now, I'm getting experienced and good people for intern prices, but that doesn't really have anything to do with where you are from.
visa and legal requirements might not be worthwhile for an american company to hire someone who doesn't already have a visa. its not free, and it takes time to happen
It would be pretty easy for me to get a J-1 visa, which would allow me to work for 4 months. I had one for the summer of 2007. The requirements are that you are going back into education at the end of the summer or that you are just after finishing final year.
Would there be any other problems, apart from visa's?

cool. i'd think that all other issues would be case-by-case instead of general.

The problem is most web startups are based in America. Would it be to much trouble to hire someone from Ireland? How should I go about it?
