Is it possible to switch from a B1/B2 visa to a work visa while in the U.S.?

Yes, but a U.S. employer must file a work visa petition (like H-1B) before your B1/B2 status expires.

You cannot legally start working until the work visa is approved and active.

Some work visas allow for a change of status from within the U.S., but not all do.

Using a tourist visa to enter with the intent to find a job may be considered visa fraud and affect future applications.
