Ask HN: Canadian HS student getting job in SF?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8412903I am senior in highschool (17 years old) going to university next year. Before heading off to university I would really like to spend the summer in San Fransico.
Over the past 4 years I have worked at several (3)startups doing mainly data science work. One of startups got acquired and the other 2 are still going strong. I also do some freelance web development work on the side, mainly to pay for school.
I would just like to know what the best course of action would be for me. I know its hard to get a job for one summer, 2 months is a small amount of time. So, the company would have to take a risk on me.
I was thinking of renting a place on AirBnB to save some money. My father has a U.S citizenship so I have the whole work Visa situation under control.
In general, how feasible do you guys think this is? I have the year to prepare for the trip.
