I Have a B2 visa, could I visit the US for a few months, get a job and apply for a different type of visa? And if so, how? Would be in the tech industry ofc.

Yes, it's possible to change status from B-2 to a work status but your intent at the time of entry must be for pleasure and not for work. The sponsoring company would file a work petition for you with USCIS. But of course you must should determine whether you would even qualify for a work visa.
