I recently became a Canadian citizen. (Toronto, ON)
Upon visiting a friend in LA, a thought of living permanently in the states came to my mind, for two reasons, generally better pay for software engineer and better climate. My wife and I are eyeing TX and WA. I just wanted to hear HN's input on it, preferably those who has gone similar paths. For background info, my wife and I are both Canadians, both age 31, no kids. Wife is a RFP manager and I'm a senior software engineer (E-comm, serverless, distributed, typescript, php, python) both of us have 4yr Uni degree in Canada.
My questions are:
1. What states do you recommend considering the weather & tax rates.
2. How should I start? Do I start interviewing asking them for H1B right away?
3. Any employers to avoid on?
4. Any concerns/tips on moving to the states from Canada.
