Working in the U.S. remotely: How to apply for a job?

Buenos Aires (Argentina), March 2023. Fully remote employment, which benefits both companies and their employees, comes with certain features, such as saving time and money on commutes and the ability to work from anywhere in the world, reducing stress levels and improving mental health.

Certainly, working remotely (especially in the field of engineering and IT development) offers numerous attractive benefits for anyone, as achieving a balance between personal and professional life is a top priority and need in today’s world.

But what does it take to apply for one of these dream jobs that offer not only dollar salaries and job flexibility but also the opportunity to work and learn from emerging startups in Silicon Valley?

What you need to apply

Having at least a B2 level of English (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is essential to access these positions and stand out among other candidates, considering that for companies like Mismo (which offers software consulting), there are no distinctions of gender, age, or race when hiring.

“Speaking a second language is a powerful competitive advantage because it allows us to thrive in multiple cultural and professional spaces. Mastering another language, in addition to your native one, will enhance opportunities, meaning the possibility of entering a global workforce increases significantly,” says Diego Gamboa, Chief Technology Officer of Mismo.

Furthermore, continuous training and development of the skills that the job market is currently demanding, such as software development and data science, are necessary to take the first step toward remote work in the digital world. For American companies, these skills are a differentiating factor, but they are aligned with soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and creativity.

It’s worth noting that in the current global situation, where economic instability has led many companies to conduct mass layoffs, Mismo continues to strengthen its IT workforce due to its talent selection and training processes. This effectively positions and incorporates Latin American engineers, specifically Argentinians, who have become essential not only because of the time zone and geographic location but also due to their commitment, passion, and technical and professional expertise over the years.

Forum Desai, co-founder and CEO of the software consultancy firm with over a decade of experience providing IT consultancy through Latin American talent to American companies, primarily located in San Francisco, CA, says, “At Mismo, we seek to inspire, showcase, and connect Argentine professionals with leading IT firms. We are aware that we may be facing a global recession, but here, we believe in the transformative power of our talent and the contributions each of them makes to the organizations we connect them with to create materialized opportunities.” She adds, “One of our goals is to recognize the importance of working together with a clear objective to boost our clients’ results and our employees’ growth.”
