Ask HN: GEtting a Remote Job in the US

9•gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
Hi guys, I am from Brazil and got the entry level cybersecurity certifications, Google Cybersecurity, SOC lvl 1 TryHackme and last week CompTIA Security+, i just started applying for jobs in the US this weeek, any tips? Having a good english and these certs, do you think is possible getting a job. I am changing carrer to IT, 0 exp in cybersecurity so far but the hands-on pratice labs from the certs. Thx!!

There are very few jobs for remote folks with no experience, and of those they're even less likely to go to someone without a degree, internship or something else to prove their capabilities. Certs just don't cut it.

You'd have better luck if you worked locally and had experience before trying to land a remote role in the US.

I know this isn't the news you want to hear but it's the truth

gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
thx! I will put a time limit for my attempt in the US! After that, I will start looking for here in Brazil, but the wages are very far away from the US.
malfist•8mo ago
That's a very healthy attitude! I'm sure you will succeed
gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
thx! Lets see if i can runnaway from socialism asap!
brudgers•8mo ago
Experience in a lower paying job is much more valuable than your comment suggests because it also demonstrates a willingness to work.

You can work and look for a better job at the same time.

The most likely better job you can get in the next few years would be working in Brazil for an international corporation.

Right now, you are rationalizing avoiding work.

gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
I am trying to get into a position of more value, just that. I am "aiming high", like I said if in one or two months nothing happens, let's try to get one here in Brazil! Thx for your time! I am thinking of trying some work-from-anywhere jobs in other countries like Indonesia or Vietnam! Changing career is kind of a weird thing to do!
ivape•8mo ago
Try the big contracting companies (Accenture, epam, etc), they love foreign labor. In fact, they are literally looking for you.
gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
kkkkk! I got your sarcasm, I didn`t check this two still! I will try! thx!
ivape•8mo ago
What makes you think I’m joking? Their business model in large part involves using excellent but cheaper labor from overseas to contract out to American companies. If you can’t get a job with them right away, you should be making it a long term priority.
gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
Now I got it right! thx for sharing! And sure they do want it!
paulcole•8mo ago
Get the attention of a small business (30 people or fewer) and offer to contract. Look into the process and use Deel — explain to them how to do it. This will make it easy for them to pay you in USD. Explain that the cost to them will be roughly $75 a month on top of your very reasonable rate compared to 20% on top of US employee salaries.

Find people on LinkedIn to reach out to.

You should use LinkedIn Recruiter Lite — ChatGPT will create good searches for you. Think of yourself as a recruiter in reverse. You need to not just sell yourself but also the idea of hiring a remote contractor.

Make Loom videos to pitch yourself. Actually PITCH yourself, dont just talk about yourself. Show how you can help them and why you want to work for them. Get a good camera and mic setup and don’t use a phony background. Do not ever mention your desire for a remote job or a desire to work for a US company.

You’re gonna hear 100 nos before your first yes.

gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
Thank you for your considerations! Nice tips! I will use them! I know about the persistence required and I am all to it!
msgodel•8mo ago
Absolutely not going to happen. Not sure why you'd want to move here anyway.

Unless you meant remote from Brazil which goes double since that's going to be a super complex tax situation.

gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
Exactly, my intentions are to work remoty from Brazil to a US company! In a entry-level cybersecurity job. My accounting said that the tax situation is easy until it reaches certain amount, beacuse as a company i would be categorized as "simples".
Dumblydorr•8mo ago
Your English writing could use polish. That’s another barrier to US employment, decent English is very common but truly good English isn’t. An employer seeing this alone might well take a pass. Hundreds of apps in a stack, they’ll take any reason to bin each resume.

I applaud second language speakers, it’s super hard! For context, I work with an Indian 24 year old worker who speaks seven languages and is also very very good at English as a third or fourth, so the competition is very fierce for you all.

Best of luck!

gsablewskinunes•8mo ago
Thx for the feedback! I am in an informal request here, but yes I can definitively improve my English. I am working on it while training for the interview process.
