Remote/Global Work


I am an exFANG senior sw engineer living out of US due to things out of my control(family, health and finally covid). I got offers with in US but nothing pure Remote or should I say Global. What is the best way to get a Global/Remote job? Do YC startups accept developers out of US? Can having a LLC in US or with in the country you are in helps to find a pure remote/global job? Why a developer can make more than quarter million dollars in US but nothing when out of US with the same skill set and contribution chance?

The best way to get a remote job is to only talk to remote companies. Filter the Who Is Hiring monthly post here on HN or Work At A Startup (https://www.workatastartup.com/) by remote. I don't know about bigger job boards but this works with startups. And when you start interviewing, have good answers for how you have been/will be effective at working remotely. A lot of employers ask about communication and productivity so make sure you mention those.
