IMO I really want tech companies to start hiring in latin america more just for time zone reasons. If India & China was in south america a lot of the pain of having offices from those regions would go away.
I've even done several hiring intensives for people from there 3 or 4 years ago.
- ashtonkem 5y agoAs someone who works on west coast time, it’s easy for me to forget that Latin America is largely east of the continental US. Not an issue for remote work, but something that caught me off guard when I started working with people living in that continent.
- novok 5y agoYes that is true, I even worked in brazil with a west coast team for a couple weeks. But it's wayyyyyyyyy better than europe, india or china time zones.
- bobthepanda 5y agoThe worst is countries that do not share a Monday-Friday working week. MENA tends to be Sunday-Thurs, so in combination with the time zone it means you can only really do Mon-Wed meetings US time.
