Hi everyone,

Looking for a job in the USA is not something you can take lightly, especially now. If you found a new job in the USA during the pandemic or if you are currently searching for one, we would like to know how it went.

How did you go about it? Which job board do you recommend? Did you use a headhunter?
In which sector did you find a job?

Did you train in order to find a new position? If so, which training course(s) did you follow and why?

What about your package? How does it compare with your previous jobs and are you satisfied with it?

What are the most important elements to prioritise or negotiate in a package for a job in the USA in 2021?

Thanks for your contribution!

Diksha,

I’m watching this conversation.

Moving to the USA - most likely Orlando FL - with my employment already in place.

My partner will be looking for work - and hence my interest in this thread.
