Show HN: Best Visa Jobs – curated jobs from top companies that sponsor visas

I know there's companies that pay their employees the same amount independently of location (ie, an employee with skill level N in San Francisco earns the same amount as another employee with skill level N in Atlanta, Mexico City, Vancouver, Bogota, etc).

I'd be very interested in a site that compiles those companies.

I worked for a company like this. Usually their range is not the same as SF or NYC, but some less expensive US city.

Try looking for "location agnostic" companies or companies without "location factor".

btw, it would make a great section on Awesome Remote Job [1]

> "Log in with your Google account to unlock all job postings"

Absolutely not. Immediate Ctrl+W.

Even then, you have to email the site owner to ask them to refer you. You don't see the job posting, at least not for the job I clicked on.

That sounds like an email collection scam…

Edit: OP has also never posted before

It looks more like they want commission offered for finding a candidate.

same! This is worse than paywall. If I don't have a Google account what am I supposed to do? I know it's hard to imagine people who don't have Google accounts but I can assure you that they exist. More importantly, it should be a choice not a requirement!

The site clearly wants to collect email addresses, likely to sell as these particular email addresses are likely fairly valuable, otherwise there wouldn’t be any login at all

It’s a shame that our immigration system necessitates that a site like this exist.

It looks exactly like a scam site to me. Some information to get gullible people to start clicking and giving away information, but not anything actionable or verifiable. I wouldn't register an account, let alone use a google login or anything similar.

>the limited number of employers who sponsored work visas

I find the imprecise language that gets thrown around on visas unhelpful. My understanding is that a US company can try to sponsor your H1-B if you're already on OPT, but the government holds a visa lottery process, so the decision about whether or not you ultimately get it is random and not up to the company. Similarly, once you have an H1-B you can then transfer it to another employer, but this isn't a 'sponsorship'- this is a visa transfer, a completely separate legal process. Finally there's sponsorship for an actual Green Card. Just because a company does 1 of these 3 things, doesn't necessarily mean that they do the other 2.

I think it'd be helpful if people in the industry used more precise language and specified what exactly they're looking for from the companies, sorry to be nitpicky. I just have this conversation a lot. I don't know what specific legal steps the companies on this guy's website do

Not quite sure of the purpose of this because any company/startup that uses an EOR like deel.com or remote.com can effectively hire anyone in a country supported by the EOR, including visa applications. https://www.deel.com/immigration

EORs target more modern, remote-first, async-friendly companies. Visas are for traditional companies that want to see butts in seats.

I believe H1 employer data is public [1], and many sites make it more accessible. For example, [2] [3]
