Hi guys,
I live in the UK and am considering emigrating to the US, the reason being that I want to achieve financial independence as quick as possible (wages in the UK are pretty low in comparison to the US).
Ideally, I'd be looking for a performance-based role (most likely b2b sales). Thing is, I have no sales experience (I instead made a mistake and graduated into a different field that pays poorly) and it seems virtually impossible to get a job offer, considering the fact that I won't be able to attend any interviews in person and I'm 5-10 hours ahead of you guys.
I was therefore considering applying for a J-1 visa via getting a job at a summer camp. After the camp I'd have 30 days 'to travel', but I'd spend this time looking for any shitty job going so I can stay in the US permanently. After securing a job, I'd then look for a sales role.
Is the above actually possible from a legal standpoint? Obviously I could look for a sales role here, make a name for myself, and then transfer to the US via a company, but I imagine this would take a lot longer to achieve.
