Hey all, British Amazon SDE L5 in London here gaining no traction with L1 visa internal transfer to California. Most US start-ups in California I apply for don't respond to me, despite me being very qualified. I was wondering if there's a specific online community/job board I should be looking at instead? I've tried Otta, but this might be better for British start-ups. Maybe just nowhere is sponsoring H1Bs right now... #H1B #engineering #software
Hey. I always thought that Amazon does internal transfer from EU to US. Did they change this policy?

I am afraid this would be an uphill battle for you. H1B is a lottery visa and realistically takes multiple attempts and a couple of years to get. I am sure you can imagine that companies would be very reluctant to invest such time and resources on potential employees when there are already plentiful candidates consisting of international students with graduate degrees and work permit. Your best bet would be to move to the US on L1, get your employer to file H1B and then switch jobs if you want.
