if i want to take cash from portugal to the usa, should i exchange my money before leaving or after arriving?

i would just rely on the salary from my job in the us. if you don't have a job in the us, you're very unlikely to get a visa to move there and look for work, and so the question of how to take money there (except for a holiday) doesn't arise. (unless you have dual portuguese/american citizenship.)
