Tried to sign up at TripleByte, got this:
"Unfortunately we're only able to work with people with legal status permitting employment in the US. We hope in the future to help set up visa sponsorships."
I appreciate that they cleared expectations upfront. I tried to sign up on Hired.com once, after going through effort of filling up their lengthy registration forms, which took me several hours, they conveniently told me that their services are not available in my country.
- Harj 10y agoWe wish we could work with you :( In the meantime, we're working on making companies more aware of the H1-B transfer options (http://blog.triplebyte.com/gaming-the-h-1b-system-for-good http://blog.triplebyte.com/gaming-the-h-1b-system-for-good) and the recent OPT visa STEM extenstion (https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/stem-opt https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exc...).
- mattferderer 10y agoI would love to hear a timeline on remote opportunities if you have one.
- wayn3 10y agoTriplebyte only works with YC companies and YC tells its startups in pretty clear terms that remote employees don't work for early stage startups so go figure.
- triplebit 10y ago> Unfortunately we’re only working with programmers who can be based in the SF Bay Area. Yeah, there's that too. :-(
- donretag 10y agoSeriously? There is no mention of either only YC companies or the Bay Area in their FAQ or on their website. Tacky.
- Harj 10y agoWe've starting on-boarding more companies outside of YC. We're working with some larger companies (Facebook, Apple) and also curating a list of exciting earlier stage startups too.
- Harj 10y agoWe're aiming to expand to both remote roles and companies based outside of the Bay Area early next year. We've seen a lot of demand for this since we launched, we've been careful about expanding because our focus has been on getting the details of our technical interviewing process correct.
