After more than a year of waiting and tossing, I finally came to the United States to work. Since the day when I joined the IT industry, I dreamed that one day I could work in the top IT companies in Silicon Valley. I didn't expect my dream to come true. Of course, my dream is not ambitious. However, I think people's dream grows at 1.1 points as they grow. Let alone the lofty ideals of the great people, it's a little far away.

Many of my friends, classmates, and colleagues asked me how to directly find a job in the United States. However, it is difficult to say too much because there is no real physical jump to the wall. Now, I want to help students who want to work in the United States. As a result, it is good in China and abroad, where there will be more machines, and I have my own thoughts. In other words, radish and cabbage have their own love. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, happiness, and freedom. Let's just focus on it. In this year, It migrant workers come to the United States to work more easily than they did in earlier years. When I started to work in the lab room at the trial school in my junior year, I thought there was only one way to go to the United States for my undergraduate students in China, apply for a graduate from an American University in the office, and then find a job after graduation and stay there. However, after a few years of graduation, I found that many of my colleagues did not study in the United States, but they all went to work in the United States. Most IT companies are in Silicon Valley. Later, with a try, I contacted a senior engineer who worked in Silicon Valley and asked if I could try it if I had the chance. He said that he could just send his English resume, and I don't have to worry about anything else. After a few weeks, the HR team started to contact me. Unfortunately, although he did not go to the company he recommended later, he successfully applied for another IT company in Silicon Valley. Just step by step, I came to work in Silicon Valley. The twists and turns are not mentioned, and my situation is a bit special. However, the basic idea is the same. Let's take three steps: three points: 1. Good technology. 2. good English. 3. Good affinity. Step 3: 4. Submit your resume. 5. Interview. 6. Complete the H1B visa. Three bodies: 7. Oh, no three bodies. "Three bodies" is a novel :-) it is a good technology and easy to understand. Many IT companies in Silicon Valley are the world's top-notch companies. Of course, they are also recruiting excellent talents. It is often difficult to think about being smart, packing beautiful resumes, or chatting during interviews. The interview process exclusive to big IT companies makes it easy to identify these people. What is good technology? In fact, it is more important to check whether a person is smart and whether he or she knows or does not know much about the technology. So what data structures do big IT companies interview? Algorithm Ah, actually, not much is actually used in real work. However, these are the basis of every CS professional. They only use this basic language or knowledge to test and explore whether you are smart, and whether your thinking and response are fast enough. From this point of view, although simply doing algorithm questions can make you more proficient in the interview questions, it may not necessarily make you smarter. We still need to learn more, summarize more, and think more, and exercise our own logical thinking ability. It is vital to allow your brain to run at high speed during the interview and show your fastest-thinking and most logical side. Good English. Needless to say, it is impossible to speak Chinese to colleagues when I come to the United States to work. Although there are many Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley, they still use English in their work and life. Especially during job interviews, poor communication in English is a problem. Don't mention how to test the technology. After I graduated from school, I started to work in the Hangzhou Branch of a large foreign company before graduation. The working language is English. Although my English was very poor at the beginning, I insisted on learning at work, exercised my English through various opportunities, heard, read and written, and persisted. English is actually just a tool for communication, but it is not a burden. English ability is like a channel that releases the energy you have accumulated in technology and the communication channel of English ability to a broader platform, that is, to Silicon Valley. Now, I really want to thank my university mentor, my boss and colleagues in my first company for giving me so many opportunities to accumulate skills, learn and exercise English. My personal example is to enter another local Internet company after leaving the first company. However, although the second company has international business, the technical team is completely in China and the working language is Chinese. Even when interviewing, there is no problem or self-introduction in English. Shortly after I joined the company, I found that I could not use English at work. In order not to waste my years of English proficiency, I began to write weekly work summaries in English, also called weekly reports. I guess I may be the only one of the company's local technical teams with more than one thousand people who insist on writing weekly reports in English. This is just two years. Although it seems that I may be an alternative or not streaming, I know it is good for myself, so I stick to it. This makes it possible for me to communicate without any barrier in the future, whether it is a telephone interview, an on-site interview in the United States, or an H1B visa communication with a lawyer. I am also very grateful to the boss of my second company. He was very enlightened and made me write the weekly report in English standalone, sometimes I even want to talk to me about why I write a sentence in English. It's really helpful to submit your resume. Generally, you only have a fresh graduates or have just graduated for one or two years. If you have work experience and want to go to a big IT company, the best way to submit your resume is to find the students and friends you know who work in that company, submit your resume through the internal recommendation process. Large IT companies have a large number of job seekers, and blind-voting resumes are likely to be drowned in the sea of resumes. Internal recommendations not only give you a larger chance for an interview, but also give the recommender a bonus once the application is successful. How happy is it? However, it is important that you feel that you have met the above-mentioned good technical and good English conditions to recommend recommendations to others. If the company doesn't give you an interview opportunity, it's hard for people to explain it to you. If they give an interview opportunity and fail, they waste everyone's time. Therefore, it is better to feel that you are more confident, and then find someone to recommend, which saves everyone's time, and the chances of success are also larger. There should be a lot of online interviews. But in fact, big IT systems all have a comprehensive job info page, which generally tells you what kind of talent they want to find and what kind of knowledge they should prepare for the interview, what is the process like. As long as there is sufficient accumulation, it should be enough to prepare two or three months before the formal interview. There is also a website, careercup.com, which summarizes the interview questions and procedures of major IT companies and provides a book, which is a good reference. If the interview is successful, congratulations. The following is a tedious H1B visa process. The most common visa type for it migrant workers to work in the United States is H1B. Don't worry about your wife (husband) and children. They can come to the United States with you through the H4 visa. H1B visa is the only visa that permits immigration preferences (L1 visa may also allow, not sure ). Generally, the company has a professional visa team to help you complete the visa, so you don't have to worry too much. However, the only thing to note is that the annual quota of H1B applications issued by the United States to foreigners is limited. Now there are about 65000 places in a year. Note that this is the number of people around the world who want to work in the United States as H1B, so they are quite nervous. The US Immigration Department's H1B Application Approval starts in July. It usually takes 15 days to a few months before approval. Then, take the approved documents and go to your local U. S. consulate to apply for an H1B visa. But one of the troubles is that even if you get the H1B visa through the approval of the Immigration Department, you can only officially start work in the United States in April October 1 of that year (10 days in advance, that is, after April September 20). This is what the US Immigration Department requires. Based on this information, you can consider when you are willing to start your resume. The entire interview process may last for one month or even two months. If you want to come to the US for an on site interview. After the interview is approved, When will I resign, How long does it take to wait for H1B visa entry. Now the offer is done, and the H1B visa is done, there will be no obstacles. Generally, large IT companies provide good relocation benefits. Specifically, you can talk to HR personnel. Because of the well-developed Relocation Service, it is not very difficult to move the family to the United States. It is only because there are many steps and complicated tasks. You can do this step by step. Hey, I feel that the writing is not too detailed. Both write estimates can write a book. I hope to give some students a rough understanding and an impression. As it migrant workers, it is not difficult to work in Silicon Valley.
