Im a full stack software developer (React, Node, Go etc) currently located in Pakistan.

I've been working remotely for about 2 years now and have 3.5 YOE and for the last two months have been looking for remote work but either get rejected at the screening stage for "not being in the right time zone" or being rejected later in the process because "we have a preference for people closer to xyz timezone"

Could you guys please recommend some companies that really don't care that I'm in Pakistan and need an offer for around TC 100k.

    I don’t think any Top US employer would let you work from Pakistan.

    Which IT companies have offices in Pakistan? I would start from there and then try to get placement in their US office and then ask to be remote.

      20k isn't that much money, in India the same role would pay closer to 50k and in the US that same role would pay around 150K. Even my remote job pays 50k USD.

    • Demand and supply. Ideally they should pay the same everywhere since they all do the same work, but the market is more competitive in India and it's the same thing in the US. Roles in the EU sometimes pay half of what is in the US even with pretty much the same cost of living.

    It's a tax and subsidiary problem. Many companies just aren't set up to have workers in every country. Zoom is pretty remote friendly but I don't think we offer remote in Pakistan

      True but is it not possible to work as a contractor for such companies? (I have that arrangement with my current employer)
