the biggest complaints we get at @contra are
1. not enough leads
2. clients dont respond to applications
the reality is, job boards are dead.. the best way to find new projects is from your own network.
Today we are launching Indy, and its going to change everything.
There are 4.4 million software engineers in the US.
There are 1.4 million software engineers in LATAM.
You have 5.8 million reasons to hire a remote engineer.
That's a BIG number.

🗣️"We only hire in the US"
We've heard that message too many times...
So, we're expanding our horizons. Alongside our core strength in LatAm, we're thrilled to announce that we're now helping companies find top talent in the US too!
🌊 Remotely's wave is getting bigger...
LATAM Tech Talent through the years 🔄
1970s: Limited engineer presence 🪫
1980s: Slow growth amid economic 📉
1990s: Increased migration, economic 📈
2000s: Surge in tech industry opps 🌊
2010s: Enter entrepreneurial role models 🦸
2020s: WE HAVE ARRIVED 📍
One lesser-known benefit of hiring LATAM:
Cultural diversity + global perspective
LATAM Engineers often navigate various cultures and languages within their own countries.
They have developed a unique adaptability and understanding of int'l markets.

^ their startups are hiring engineers in Latin America.
How do we know?
They're using Remotely.
And... it's okay to have the same idea. You create the differences in the details. We match top engineering talent in LatAm w/ US startups.
Other co's do that.
But they don't:
-Take care of payroll/compliance.
-Facilitate offering benefits (stock options).
-Have zero take-rate

The AI revolution:
Junior engineers are now mid-level.
Mid-level engineers are now senior.
Senior engineers are now lead engineers.
Heck, even non-engineers are now junior-level.

Code Interpreter has been out for 10 days, and it's incredible. It's like having a personal dev capable of running scripts for $20.
Some are even calling it GPT4.5. I think they're right.
Here are the best examples and resources I've found:

US engineers:

LATAM engineers:

Dear US Startups... LATAM is your unfair advantage.
