Another thing I found out is that many companies hire contractors through contracting agencies and their hiring is ... horrible to say the least.
Global remote has been on a bit of a downturn in the last few years. There are many decent job boards out there, but the bigger problem is that many of them don't allow specifying remote within a country, or the US-oriented companies that post on them never specify that they only want remote within the US.

Add to that the number of people we've had apply for jobs using AI and then turn out to have zero knowledge of what we've hired them for when they turn up.
In addition to the (real, but somewhat overblown) downturn in tech, the main problem is that hiring is fucked. Both sides are in a scam/fraud arms race. Getting a job through the front door is basically impossible now - and if you want to try, you will need to lie and do all the dirty tricks your competition does, and even then, your conversion rate will be minuscule. An alternative is either to go through your netwo…
Maybe what we needed was a classical and humanities education all along so that people would not abuse available technologies to their worst possible end because more people might have been aware of the outcomes of such behaviour. C’est la vie. Fires have a warm glow, at least.

A lot of the time the company cannot make it remote global because of tax and regulatory compliance. I work for a multinational company who has employees in at least a dozen countries, but we can't employ anyone who isn't in a country we don't have a registered company entity.

There's a ton of employer of record companies that can hire for you. I've worked via Deel and Remote.com, both without any issues.
