I worked for 2y on VC/PE Funds and 2y on Startups in Brazil - just moved to the US.

Right now I’m working for a Brazilian startup, they pay me 50k/y fully remote. However, Ive lost my motivation recently because I know this salary won’t be enough to live somewhere like the Bay Area.

I have no idea how tech hiring works here or if companies will find work experiences in Brazil valuable. If so, how could they perceive it as valuable?

Most companies are multi-national, so I wouldn’t worry about tech companies devaluing your work experience because the roles were in Brazil. If the work you did there demonstrates the skills listed for the role, that will matter more than location. Portuguese is also an in demand language for companies with LATAM customers.

Have confidence in your skills. I'm sure all are transferable.

Also, you don't need to mention your previous wage. Get right sized here in the U.S. for what you're worth.

Hi I’ve gone through that myself, coming from Brazil working in global CPG and now for Telecom company. I can tell it is not easy, it will all depend on much other factors such as, technologies you are experienced, what type of work/business you were doing in Brazil. One lad point, living in the Bay Area might not be a good idea, if you can do the work remotely there are other places you can consider. Let me know if I can help

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Maybe this isn’t the right thread but can someone weigh in here? My last role as an analyst was called BA2, I had senior level responsibilities minus the people manager part. Is it right to put senior business analyst on job applications for a sr. BA role?

Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary. Very rude & absurd behaviour from them. Hence rejecting the offer as such company if u aren't sure when to ask for joining u may revoke the offer letter later on. Hence multiple options in hand is necessary nowadays. Infosys Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
