You will need H1B visa to work there and a US company to sponsor it.
I believe Contracting rates are a bit lower there.

Low Rates
I know it differs from city to city but from what I understand the cost of living ia WAY lower then the UK so for about 60-70K $ you will live better than here.
I dont know if this holds true for NY/SF though.There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to thinkComment

Originally posted by MarillionFan$650 a day plus expenses. Is that good, is that bad? I don't know?
It also appears that no-one on here knows either. Which surprises me!
Anyone. Anyone out there?
If you intend to do this to make money to bring back here, then $650 is about £330 which is not that great really.Comment

A good rule of thumb (outside the expensive cities) is that your outgoings in dollars will be equivalent to what you would pay in pounds here e.g. rent of a flat would be $650 instead of £650. So you don't need to earn as much.
But if you want to save money to bring back, it's crap ....Hard Brexit now!

Anybody know what rates in Canada are like?
I'm definetly interested in upping sticks and getting out of this country in the next few years and canada seems like a good idea. (Plan B brings in a modist income that looks much better with the exchange rate as it is right now).
If you live on the southern border of Canada commuting into the USA is a feasible option and from what I can work out the cost of living is slightly cheaper in Canada.Comment
