Is it possible for a beginner to find work in the USA or Western Europe?

I see many kinds of job offers from across the planet and many are very interesting (at least for me). I have a few years of experience in programming, mostly in Java and C# but I have also some knowledge in Python, Ruby and Scala as well. I am curious if it is possible for a "beginner" to find work in another county, especially in the USA. I would not say that I am a "true" junior, but 3 years of experience is not that much, even if you are passionate about the work you do.

I would be glad if anyone who had succeeded in finding work abroad (especially from Eastern Europe) could share their experiences on this question.
