Is this a legit plan to move from Canada -> Texass? (US IT brahs gtfih)
Industry: IT
Plan:
- Get harder IT certs (CISSP, AWS Professional x 2, Azure DevOps, etc) while Pandemic is weaning off
- Get involved in volunteering for US companies/ orgs doing IT chit (for references)
- Get degree from WGU for cheap US .edu credentials
- Order a conservative sloot with Green card via mail order bride site
- Learn Spanish, be fluent in it.
Is this enough to land a employer-sponsored position in TX?

Isn't a TN visa ridiculously easy to get for Canadians? Like you can legitimately get it when entering the country with a letter from an employer?
If you already have a degree and work in IT then why bother with any of that?

On a more serious note, I know fuk all about sponsorships but I know you have way more experience/skills than me. You'd be a shoe-in for most IT jobs out here, srs. Hiring surge usually happens after Christmas and NYE.

Interesting. Have you tried asking over at r/ITcareerquestions? They've been pretty helpful in getting me attention from employers around my area.Originally Posted by lnvictus
I doubt it's your experience. Do you have an ethnic sounding name? I hate to say it but sometimes employers will pre discriminate. My name is one of the few reasons I got any interest to begin with.
