Ask HN: Whats the best way to find a H-1B job in the Bay Area?

From what I heard there are quite a few startups that are willing to sponspor an H-1B for the right candidate. You might want to look for those that have received some funding, but other than that just look for startups that you'd like to work for and ask them whether they're willing to sponsor an H-1B.

H1B applications are publicly available, so you can download an excel spreadsheet of every company that's applied for them. It also includes job title and company address, so with some excel-fu you should be able to get the data you want.

I could do with an answer to that one as well although I'd rather work with a startup than a bigcorp.
