In this video, I talk about how to get a remote software development job with a company based in the United States.
Working with a US based company, especially if you're based in more developing parts of the world, means that your earnings will be in US dollars, which can increase your earning potential significantly.
I go over some tips and tricks to help you achieve that in this video.
Came here to find out best language to learn for us web development. Surprised english is #1 :D
Thank you so much! I’m planning to find a remote job in the US as a contractor and this is very helpful. Your point about weak currency is 100% true - this is the main reason.
Glad it was helpful!
I went to university in Japan. I remember thinking I might stay there to work but then I realised they paid their senior devs like $70k lmao. They were working those 8am - 12am shifts too 😭
Japanese work culture is next level
Love your videos, I want to be as good as you on ROR some day soon 🔥🔥
thanks!
you are literally the best guy on youtube
That’s probably an over exaggeration but thanks !
Thanks for all of the high value content you've been posting on your channel, I feel really fortunate to have discovered you before your audience grows. A couple of questions I had while watching the video:
Are you still doing the digital nomad lifestyle and if not why did you leave the digital nomad lifestyle?
What is the pathway in your opinion to becoming a top 1% Rails developer?
In your experience, what inefficiencies (if any) have you noticed in the market between US companies and talented developers from overseas?
I no longer do the digital nomad thing, although I still enjoy traveling one in awhile.
To get better at development, it's really just lots of practice + time.
One major inefficiency I've seen between US markets and outsourced developers is that there's a negative prejudice against outsourced developers due to past experiences with poor quality of work. This can be overcome of course with a portfolio of work + experience.
Good video man. I really like your channel. I’d be interested in the resume video. I’m not American. Some of the things you said made me laugh. We’re recommended to use photos on resume. Never made sense to me 😂
Yep, how CVs and resumes are done are different per country and culture from what I've seen. In the USA, I think the reason pictures are not used in resumes is to prevent discrimination based on looks, race, gender, etc.
Video on resume would be pretty sweet
Thanks for all recommendation. Please make video on how to up our coding quality.
Will do!
Another great video. I'm an African aspiring for a US rails job.
A question please, which of this test tool is more popular (in the US), Minitest or Rspec?
Rspec is more popular. I've only seen minitest once.
Please how do we send a DM?
The difference in quality has to do with pay.
People get paid less, therefore they don't get the same life quality as in first world countries and because of that they won't invest as much time in learning and improving themselves.
Very nice video, I'm trying to find remote jobs, and I see most of the good remote jobs are from overseas, very few in China (I'm Chinese), my English ability is holding me back, I tried to learn English, but it didn't work.
Keep trying. Learning a language takes time.
@@typefastco Thanks, I will continue to watch your videos, and learn both ruby on rails and English
I am an experienced software developer from Ukraine. Your video is great, but i didn't get how to contact us-based companies directly? All posted jobs, which I've met requires to be legitimate to work in the US.
Like most job postings, I would ignore most of the requirements just apply and see what happens. Most job posting list requirements that are nice to have, but not a must.
My question is remort job pay base on employees location or they pay usa type Selary?
Sir give reply please 🙏 kindly
From what I've seen, based on employee location, but they'll still pay much better than what local companies would pay.
@TypeFast thanks sir ❤️ but approximate how much usa remote startup can pay if any one do work from india ? How much thousands dollars package?
Which websites do you use to find jobs in the US that are accepting people from the third world.
We work remotely, indeed, all sorts. It's a numbers game. Also, you can try to get into professional freelance networks like toptal.
