Is it really that different (than the US)? How did you get a work visa?

I can't even express how many "geniuses" I've tried to work for only to find out they completely crumble under the pressure of the expectations they build for themselves, and then are unable to accept help or work with other reasonably intelligent people (which might threaten their ego).

Seriously getting burnt out by tech, which is sad, so if it is really as different as you say I would love to make a move.
