2/ Decide what you are looking for:
Companies tend to look for a person that can do a certain job. E.g. "Node engineer", "Data scientist"
Few companies will look at your profile if you don& #39;t apply directly to a position.
Zero will do if you can& #39;t say what it is you want.

3/ Be realistic. If you have little experience in time, you will have to make up for that in other ways - preferably a way you can prove.
Public work is gold. Blog posts, even e.g. StackOverflow or Dribbble profile can be very good.
For jobs like product mngr this is hard

4/ BUT: Apply to jobs you think you& #39;re somewhat underqualified for.
Companies tend to overstate what they are looking for vs. what they& #39;ll hire.
This is the confidence gap that hurts everyone except white men, essentially.

5/ What other constraints do you have?
If you work from a country @remote supports, we& #39;re always happy to help you with all legal / compliance stuff. But make sure the company you& #39;re applying to can accomodate to your timezone - or you to theirs.

6/ What is your risk tolerance?
Young startups tend to be high risk + high upside (chance of large upside for early employees is slim, of course, but it happens).
More mature companies risk is lower, upside can still be high - but not endlessly as with e.g. a breakout startup.

7/ Time to find a job!
There are many places to find remote work. The best way is to follow companies here and get in early once they open a position.
Every job site on the world now has options for remote work. I don& #39;t need to tell you how to search.

8/ Reaching out to future managers / founders of startups can work, but you have to be a little lucky. Here& #39;s how to bend luck:
1. Write a really short email with a clear ask. 2 sentences
2. Include relevant links
