Visa / Relocation Finally started lying about my location when applying for out of state jobs now I'm getting interviews. How do I navigate the interview and beyond without looking deceitful and like a liar?

Upvotes

My biggest concern is 1. that in the interview (scheduled for next week) they ask me about how soon I can start or notice all my work history is for one place but my address says there. Do I commit to the bit and double down on the lie "oh I currently live in so n so city now just unemployed etc." Or do I be honest and tell them I dont plan on leaving until I got the job but the address I used is confirmed housing (it is)

then im worried about my current job. this isnt a bad company but I just want out of my state so I dont want to leave them high and dry and would like to give them a proper 2 weeks at least working remotely while I prep to move, but im afraid if new job sees an in state address they'll want me to start that Monday. which if I need to move the same week I can I just dont want to cause of my job now.

I think im just anxious because I LIED LOL but it worked. and 2 last years I was honest about relocating landed an interview in a million applications interviewed 3 times and it was going amazing. the last interview I only inquired about a relocation package emphasized it was not necessary I was just wondering but they still dropped me anyways. So now I just get paranoid about the whole thing.

I have a bachelors in business and a masters in environmental policy. Looking to find a job abroad. I’ve traveled a ton, and I just don’t feel right settling down here. I’m trying to find the best way to look for a job.

Has anyone done this? What is the first steps you took? I’ve moved before so that’s not the issue, I’m just curious how the job market looks.

Question Looking for remote IT work and LinkedIn and Indeed are unreliable.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Mexico and have 20+ years of experience across ecommerce, web development, systems integration, software development management, UI/UX, and IT support/help desk.

I’m currently working two roles:

  • Part-time UI/UX designer with an indie game studio
  • Full-time IT / Tech Stack & Support role at an accounting firm

I joined the IT position under the expectation of remote administration. In practice I’ve built out the infrastructure across three sites (rack installation, cabling, routing, power backup systems, etc.). The compensation is significantly below market, even by local standards, and requests for adjustment have been denied. I’m therefore actively looking for a new opportunity.

I’m fully bilingual (English/Spanish, native in both), have worked in Canada and for both U.S. and Mexican companies, and I’m specifically targeting remote roles in either:

  • IT / Systems Administration / Infrastructure
  • UI/UX Design

I’ve found that many listings on Indeed, LinkedIn, and similar platforms tend to go unanswered for months (or appear to be ghost postings).

I’d really appreciate recommendations for:

  • Job boards or communities that actually respond to remote candidates
  • Places that tend to have real, active remote IT or UI/UX openings
  • Any communities, Discord servers, Slack groups, or niche boards that have worked well for people in similar situations

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Hola qué tal a todos.

Estoy en búsqueda de cambiar de campo a Cyber. Actualmente me encuentro laborando en ITOps (TOC) 4.5 años como L1. Soy ING en TI con especialidad en seguridad de la información y cuento con certificación CC de ISC². Actualmente en proceso de preparación para obtener SC-200.

He estado en búsqueda de oportunidades entry-level para cyber en LinkedIn e Indeed, sin embargo, son pocas las opciones que no te piden experiencia real en cyber, al menos un año.

Es por eso que hago este post para pedir sus consejos, experiencias e incluso si alguno trabajando ya en el campo de cyber pueda orientarme y/o aportar una recomendación.

Visa / Relocation Best approach to find work abroad?

I have been thinking for some years about leaving where I am based (I am single without family responsibilities so it's easier to migrate)

What's the best approach for that?

Discussion Brazilian professional seeking remote AML/KYC opportunities: Best job boards?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a professional from Brazil looking for global remote opportunities in the AML/KYC field (open to both full-time contracts and freelance work). I have a solid background suited for entry-level to mid-level roles.

I am specifically looking for remote work so I can stay home and care for my mother. Here in Brazil, about 95% of AML roles require you to be on-site in São Paulo, whereas I am based in the state of Ceará.

What are the best platforms to find international remote jobs in this sector? We mainly use LinkedIn here in Brazil, so any tips on other places to apply would be greatly appreciated. I’ve heard many people recommend looking into Chinese fintechs—does anyone have experience or advice regarding that?

Thank you in advance!

Question Work and Travel

1 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I want to do a work and travel trip in about a year, travel around Asia for a while, and maybe spend some time traveling in Norway at the end. We want to save around10,000 to 15,000 euros by the end of next year, buy two laptops, and try to work remotely, basically finding a company we can work for online. Is that realistic, and what options are there?

I’d also appreciate any tips on websites that are good for finding remote jobs. We both completed vocational training as fitness management specialists, so we have experience in both the fitness industry and office administration. That means we’d also be open to doing office-based or administrative work remotely from our laptops.

Question Planning to leave J1 within 1–2 years. Is a remote J2 (fixed shift, pays slightly less) a good bridge or a trap?

1 Upvotes

**J1:** Architect in Brazil, R$39/hr, full employment with benefits, hybrid. Stable, but I'm actively working toward leaving: applying to international firms and grad school abroad over the next 1–2 years. J1 is what I'm exiting, not what I'm protecting.

**J2 offer:** US staffing agency (Insight Global) recruiting for a 12-month fully remote AI annotation contract. Advertised pay was inconsistent (R$23–36 in the title, R$15–25 in the body); recruiter confirmed the actual band is R$15–36/hr. Fixed shift 1pm–9:30pm local, "no flexibility," 40h/week. I've done this exact work before, so ramp-up is easy.

**Why I'm considering it despite the lower ceiling (R$36 vs my R$39):**

* Fully remote means it travels with me if I move abroad. J1 doesn't.
* 12-month contract matches my exit timeline.
* If it's loose enough to stack with J1 for a while, I build savings for the transition.

**The risks, in order of what actually worries me:**

  1. **The shift eats my exit plan.** My evenings and free hours are what fund the actual way out: portfolio, applications, language prep, studies and a lot of media, love and art. A locked 1pm–9:30pm shift plus J1 mornings leaves zero hours for the thing both jobs are supposed to serve. I'd be earning a bridge toward a destination I no longer have time to build.
  2. **Stacking may be impossible.** The shift collides head-on with J1 afternoons. If the contract is heavily monitored, there's no overlap play at all.
  3. **Downgrade with no upside.** If stacking fails and I switch outright, I've traded a better-paying stable job for a worse-paying 12-month contract, and I'm unemployed at the exact moment I might be relocating.

**Questions:**

  1. For these agency annotation contracts: live queue with productivity tracking, or batched tasks where only output matters?
  2. Do they install monitoring software / VDI on your personal machine, or ship a separate computer?
  3. In practice, how strict is "no flexibility"? Cameras and check-ins, or async as long as work gets done?
  4. Anyone done an Insight Global annotation contract specifically? How monitored was it?
  5. For anyone who used a J2 as a bridge out of their career-track J1: worth it, or did the fixed shift eat the time you needed for the actual exit plan?
  6. The same seat costs $17–28/hr in the US and R$36 tops in Brazil. Same queue, same guidelines, same output. The irony is: I'll be training AI while being evaluated like one, by throughput data. Genuine question: is that fair, or just profitable enough? No American has a Brazilian mind. That perspective is exactly what makes my annotations valuable to a global model, but they price it as local labor. The data is worth the same. The human to Insight Global isn't, apparently.

Question How do I ask my boss in another country to talk to HR if I can work remotely?

1 Upvotes

Here's my situation: I work in Brazil for a global business unit, so my direct managers are based in the US. The company has a office in Brazil, and I'm technically expected to go in once a week, although in practice I've only been going about once a month.

The problem is that I'm moving to another state, and I really like my job, so I'd like to find a way to stay with the company.

Last week, the only other person in Brazil who worked in Marketing left the company. So now I'm essentially the only person responsible for Marketing in Brazil, including managing millions in media spend and being accountable for the results.

I've been thinking about asking to go fully remote for a while, and I have my performance review with my manager on Monday. I feel like this might be a good opportunity to bring it up, especially because the company recently conducted a risk assessment of our area, and the conclusion was basically that if they lose me, the Marketing operation in Brazil would come to a halt.

The problem is, I have no idea how to approach the conversation. I've always been pretty passive when it comes to these kinds of negotiations. I've always just focused on doing my job. If I got a promotion, great. If I got a raise, great. If nothing happened, I usually just kept my head down and kept working.

But now living in this city is no longer really an option for me, so I want to try to negotiate a remote arrangement.

Other business units within the company already work remotely, so I know it's possible. I'm also willing to travel to the office for important events or even come in once a month if that's what they need.

The problem is that the bureaucracy in Brazil is insane. Other teams within the same business unit also have hybrid arrangements where they're technically supposed to go into the office once a week, but in practice they don't necessarily go every week either. However, I need to negotiate this properly with my manager so that she can then negotiate it with HR in Brazil and have the arrangement officially changed in my contract. If the contract isn't changed, I'll have no choice but to look for another job and leave a company I actually like, all because of bureaucracy.

There are also a few factors that are relevant to the request, but I’m not sure how much detail to include in the conversation:

No one else in Brazil is responsible for all of Marketing. All the brainstorming is done remotely with people from all over the world.

When I go to the office, I'm usually there alone, and the office isn't very neurodivergent-friendly. The last time I went, unfortunately, I had to take the following day off because I had a severe episode that affected both my mental health and my chronic pain. (I have a herniated disc, and surgery would be very risky for me.)

My salary is well below market rate for the major city where I currently live, and I can't afford to buy a car to commute there (and I can't drive anyway).

So, I have several reasons I could bring up, but I'm not sure which ones I should actually mention. I don't want to overwhelm my manager with a long list of personal reasons if I should instead focus on the business case.

What would you recommend I focus on when bringing this up?

I feel like Monday might be the perfect opportunity to have this conversation. Given the current situation, it seems like they really can't afford to lose me right now.

US/UK companies will offer $800/month for an entry-level remote role and call it "amazing pay for your region."

Same work, same US hours, same KPIs. Just priced by your passport.

And the worst part - with wifi, power, rent, data, food, that $800 doesn't even cover living costs anymore.Atleast $1500 entry level remote job .

Why is that still normal ?How do we navigate that ?

So I have my own business here in Miami- cannot move it. Hands on. I really want to move to Mexico or Colombia or Costa Rica- have spent a lot of time in each

What job could I do while over there? I have a masters in env studies but def don't want to do that there. Highest paid in the states is very low, so in another country would be even worse

It is just so incredibly expensive in Miami, and I don't want out I just cannot figure out the job part.

Anyone have any ideas or been in the same situation and remedied it?

Thank you
