Yeah, I got this advice before and it makes sense. Even if I was looking for more of a "full-time-like" position that would happen to hire through a 1099 contract (not exactly sure if it's that form exactly for foreign contractors).

I ended up finding a job exactly like that on a small startup, so I am happy. But next time I am in the market, I will for sure apply to those "Remote(US)" jobs. Even though, in Substack case, the internal recruiter that told me that I couldn't apply.
