Hi! Can you recommend any job portals that are specialized in cross-border remote jobs? I’m not EU or US based, and looks like 90% of remote jobs that I see are only for US or EU citizens. With my 13 years experience in software engineering, mentorship, and people management, fluent English, and decent soft skills, I can't get most of the cool jobs I want without relocating to another country. But I’m not willing to relocate. That’s really disappointing.

i would recommend that you put your info into the monthly hackernews posts Freelancer and who wants to be hired.

I live outside the states, but got contacted for some freelancing opportunities.

The way i see it there is an absolutely large amount of work that you can do outside of the US/EU for companies based there. They just probably aren't FAANGs or their equivalents. Lots of small and medium shops hire too.

I currently work for a small company in the states, but live in latam

I know at Shopify, we hire outside US/CA/EU. But I also know some locations we cannot hire for due to security concerns. However, unlike most FAANGs we are 100% committed to being fully remote.

If Shopify has an entity where you are legally entitled to work we can employ you directly. In all other countries, we may be able to hire you as a contractor.
