Hey everyone, I work in IT here in Brazil (specifically web programming, scraping, and helpdesk) and I’d like to know how I can land a remote job that pays in Euros or Dollars.
My English is good (I can communicate well), but I don't know which sites or platforms to apply on; most of them seem to require payment or use AI filters that always prioritize the site's long-time workers or "favored" users.
Do you guys have any shortcuts? Like a lesser-known site or a group? An anon is a brother.
I have a college degree, experience, good projects and etc...

Americans usually use Indeed for job hunting but you're not likely to get anything considering the market here

Not a shortcut, but a realization that in this area volume of applications rules. Spam you CV to openings like crazy.

I haven't done this and I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Also I think you should research more yourself instead of asking. Anyway: a few months ago I started thinking about where VCs, small companies, and alike found engineers and I stumbled upon some subreddits where people shared resources to find engineers for hire. I didn't save soykaf all but that sounded like a great place to find places to go to, instead of trying to win the numbers game.

IMO that's the worst possible way to go about doing that.
Join CTF or programming teams that participate at defcon or US/EU challenges. Be active in those groups and network. Ask around.
Otherwise, you're just a part of the resume fodder that will likely just get tossed aside.
Take a look at large consultancies, specifically.

Most of openings are actually fake or inactive, numbers game is necessary imo. You CV has to be great and you have to be a good candidate, but even just to get opportunity to talk in more detail about some opening, you have to spam. Real thing happens when you get those multiple rounds of calls to talk about project and about your experience, and to evaluate your skills.

The more I (>>93184) think about it, the more I realize you and >>93183 have a point
From my perspective it was more of a "networking > volume" type deal but still, good volume of applications is definitely needed.

If you're good at networking, you don't need volumes. You will get live hot positions from your buddies. If you're terrible at networking but have decent skills, you need volumes to get an opportunity to show your skills. My last experience, I got 5 interviews from like 200 applications, and 3 offers from these 5 interviews. I don't know how it is nowadays, in context of AI. I would personally tailor my CV to AI in a way that makes it seems like I'm very good at both using and not using it, that I both understand its efficiency, and understand the need to keep my own mind and knowledge sharp and up to date, etc. For me, there was always a lot of larp in this, and there was always a lot of self-stimulation to become 300iq at least temporarily.
