hiiiI am working with blockchain protocols for last 4 YOE as smart contract developer. I am based in Nigeria but payscales are less here, so looking for remote work particularly in US And Europe.When i look for remote jobs on job portals they say 'only if residing in particular time zone.Event though I have skills like solidity, rust and smart contract security, the base location seems to be a hurdle in the remote job option.If you’ve been in a similar situation, how did you break through?Any legit companies that truly hire globally?Best ways to get noticed despite not being in a “preferred” region?Would collaborating with devs in those regions help?Would love to hear from anyone who’s figured this out—how do you actually land a remote job when companies keep shutting the door based on location?

If you’ve been in a similar situation, how did you break through?
- Any legit companies that truly hire globally?
- Best ways to get noticed despite not being in a “preferred” region?
- Would collaborating with devs in those regions help?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s figured this out—how do you actually land a remote job when companies keep shutting the door based on location?

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.
