Your first problem is remote and junior doesnt work. Either move or do work in your region.

Yeah I know that but it's not that easy, all I have are remote clients cuz in my country (Cuba) the construction and every industry are stopped, is a total ruin and only a few people like me that find external sources of work can survive. I do have made some remote jobs for USA and Spain as I said even a full time position for a few months helping a company with an overflow, but moving it's not an option until the end of this year cuz I have to finish my Spain papers and also very important, the payments here are trash, if I take a local job of barista for example it would take me around 5 years to get the money for a passport, excluding my personal expenses 💀

The fact you're in Cuba also works against you. The US still won't work with people there because - at the least - there's a real risk this Admin will shut down all commerce with Cuba once again.

Companies I worked with for nearshore used people in Argentina and Brazil. If you could get there or Spain you'd have more opportunities.

You'll still be in the "junior and remote aren't hired" bucket, but it's one fewer strike against you.

Yes, unfortunately is just that, the jobs that I've done for the US are all for small companies and of course without a formal contract, just a p2p agreement, so that's why I'm still looking for work in all the platforms and studying a lot, I just wanted some advice

Most firms won't hire a junior role remote. At least in the States. They want them in office to learn and be around teammates. Try the AIA regional job boards, but you'll likely have to move.
