US and UK interviews have cultural norms that differ from other regions.
Key differences:
- Self-promotion is expected. Say "I built this" not "The team built this."
- Direct communication. Get to the point quickly.
- Asking questions. Expected. Silence shows disengagement, not respect.
Visa considerations: Be prepared to discuss work authorization. Companies listing "no sponsorship" may make exceptions. H-B lottery: applications in March for October starts.
Your international perspective is valuable. Companies building global products need people who understand different markets.
