Mind, you do not have any competitive advantage from applying for jobs in the US while staying on a tourist visa. On the contrary, that might expose you to way far more trouble than your enthusiasm and willpower deserve. Why not sending applications from Europe to European subsidiaries of US firms, get hired in Europe, then climb the ladder and get moved to the US? That’s how it works, for many people. EDIT: @gregjor comments above put the matter in the perspective and pretty eloquently.
