Anyone made it to Big N from a third world country?

I have a hard time getting my resume noticed since I'm in a country that's not always on recruiters radar. Also, for the same reason there aren't any people I can contact to refer me. I know I can do well in the interview cause I'm involved in competitive programming, but still no luck. Anyone have an experience getting into such companies from the same background. Ps: north african country btw

Been at Google, Uber, FB. Full education in a third world country (same region) If you're good just ask to be referred. Where you're from doesn't matter for shit.
