I'm currently working in London as a frontend engineer and am interested in moving to SF/Bay Area.<p>I would like to know whether anyone has experience of doing this successfully, particularly if they have secured a startup job as opposed to working at a big company, and what their advice for someone else trying to make a similar move might be.<p>Options as I see them atm:
- Work for a big tech company in UK and then transfer to SF
- Start my own company and use that as an entry point<p>From online research, it doesn't look like a startup job hire would give me much chance of success due to visa issues and time scales but I would love to be corrected on this.
