I'm a 30 year old UK citizen, currently doing a part-time data science job for a major UK bank while studying for a Master's Degree in Cambridge. Between age 21-28 I was doing marketing as my undergrad was Psychology.

I want to pivot my data science job into a machine learning role. I have a very strong CV (90%+ in all public exams, first at university, etc.).

I want to move to the US in 2-3 years - New York specifically. Salaries are much higher (2-3x higher in some cases), I'm more aligned with the culture, and I love the city.

How hard would this be to accomplish? Some research gives two answers:
>Very easy, just apply for an internal transfer!
>Very hard, don't even bother - single digit percentage chance
