Moving preparation: visa, cost of living, choice of state
The first step, which should not be skipped, is collecting information. Even if you plan that a future employer will issue you a work visa, you should at least roughly understand what options exist here. This can save you a lot of time and effort in the future, as well as increase the chances of moving in general – there are visas with quotas (getting a visa does not mean moving immediately), but there are without, and it would be good to understand this.
Here are some useful articles that will help you collect more information about visas and adaptation in a new place in general:
