Screw the H1-B VISA process.
6 years ago
I'm 100% done with it. I already got scammed 350 euro out of some shitty company (note me if you want to know who they are) - they "promise" to proactively help you search, but all they do is give you information that's already publicly available and assign a guy to pretend to talk to you and then disappear completely. This happened a few years ago.
And that's just salt being rubbed in the wound of the main problem - sending application after application, trying to reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn and getting no response, as if I don't fucking exist.
This dream is dead and this decision is final. I'm honestly disgusted by the whole American job scene and the sheer hostility of the VISA process, and how little employers give a damn about someone with decent skills. I'm being shown a lot of interest in the local scene, lots of actual recruiters who respond.
I suppose the American dream is going to be what it always was - just a dream. I will go take my skills elsewhere in Europe, or stay with my current employer who I'm extremely happy with.
Edit: S-sorry for the angry journal. I rarely, rarely ever get angry. I can assure you that this will be an extremely rare occurrence. I needed to vent off my frustrations. Even though it'll solve nothing, at least it helps get it out of my head so I can stop thinking about it..

I've had crazy ideas and plans of building a small community of American furries (90% of my best online friends are American), but I suppose that's not really on the table anymore. I always wondered why I tended to click more with Americans, or if it's a matter of co-incidentally meeting them more often.
But anyway, thank you for that comment. It helps put my mind at rest on the issue.
also get political as you want with me bb i don't get pissy if you have a different opinion haha
