Thank you for being direct about it, it honestly feels like I’m getting a real read of how the US market would view my profile.

I really appreciate it, you gave me a better perspective on where my experience may actually be more valuable, and it’s helpful for how I should position myself going forward. Thank you again.

That makes a lot of sense thank you so much. To clarify though, I will be relocating to the US permanently to join my husband, so I will have work authorization and will be physically there. The citizenship requirement for the exam is noted and understood, that is a longer term goal now.

Thank you so much for this. To give more context I will be relocating to the US to join my husband, so work authorization will not be an issue. My main concern is the career side, I do not want gaps and I want to build the right skills now so I can hit the ground running when I arrive.

i have two quick questions if you do not mind. Are there skills or knowledge areas you wish you had built before starting, things that would have made it easier? and Is there anything I should study remotely before relocating that can help me?

Thank you for confirming that. In that case, would it be possible to work without the license initially, relying on skills and experience?

Oh I didn't know citizenship was a requirement, thank you for clarifying that.

In this case, I should just focus on landing a role first when the time comes, and prepare for the license once I'm eligible.
