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.

#13Your 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!

#14Get 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 Lit…
Thank you for your considerations! Nice tips! I will use them! I know about the persistence required and I am all to it!

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".

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.

kkkkk! I got your sarcasm, I didn`t check this two still! I will try! thx!
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.
Now I got it right! thx for sharing! And sure they do want it!

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.
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.
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!
