Getting visa is difficult. I am trying to get a job. It is not exactly easy either. I get almost no response for US based positions. Know any companies that are open to sponsorships? I have about 2 years of scientific and CAD software development experience, primarily in C++.
Unfortunately I don’t. Have you spent any time working in the web sphere? There are a lot of jobs for back-end website developers.
Getting into development is hard, because there are so many bottom-tier engineers that’ll undercut your efforts, but once you get established it gets a lot better. I struggled to find work for years until I finally had a lucky break. I don’t have any immediate solutions for you, but I encourage you to stick with it, even if you have to shift focus a little. It can pay off big time in the end. Best of luck, friend.
Edit: working on some personal projects and creating a great portfolio can really help you stand out from the competition. When I was getting established I constantly bid on jobs above my skill level for less money than I deserved, just to get the experience and portfolio item. In the end that worked out well for me.
Start applying for jobs in the US. Or if you can swing it, get your visa and come here. Most of my coworkers are Indian, and they’re making bank.

I know backend development to some extent. Have worked with Node.js and flask. Maybe I can start from there. Thank you.
