How can I get a remote blockchain job if I’m not in a preferred country or region?

How can I get a remote blockchain job from anywhere, even if companies prefer certain regions? I have four years’ experience as a smart contract developer. I work with Solidity and Rust. I live in Nigeria, but local pay is low. I want remote blockchain jobs in the US or Europe. Most listings say “remote” but require specific time zones. Has anyone here found a way around this? Are there blockchain companies that truly hire globally? What helps you get noticed if you’re not in a preferred region? Would collaborating with local developers in those areas help? I’d love advice from anyone who has solved this.

Totally hear you on this—it's one of the most frustrating parts of "remote" hiring in blockchain. I’ve been there, and honestly, breaking through takes a mix of strategy and persistence.

First, focus on truly remote-first companies—think DAOs, Web3-native startups, and orgs without HQ-based hiring. Check out CryptoJobsList, UseWeb3, and Twitter (lots of hiring happens there).

Second, network like crazy—LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, even contributing to open-source projects. Sometimes, getting referred internally helps bypass the location filter.

Third, flip the script—if they hesitate over location, lean into your strengths. Show them your track record, audits, or any public contributions. If timezone is an issue, offer overlap hours.

Lastly, don’t get discouraged. It’s not about if you’ll land a job—it’s when. Keep applying, keep connecting, and the right opportunity will come. You got this!

One way to get into job is Personal branding. Recruiters often could not be sure about expertise just with CV and portfolio. They are silent observers on social platforms. If your are presenting your knowledge to the world, it is always speaks louder than your CV.
