Title: I&#x27;m at a dead end career-wise and the job market I&#x27;m at does not offer any better alternatives than my current job. The pay is great but I find the work I do pretty depressing compared to the stuff I know I&#x27;m capable of. I&#x27;ve tried to demonstrate and explain the value I could be bring if we were to do things differently but I&#x27;ve lost hope that I&#x27;ll ever get through to anyone.<p>HN has always been inspiring regarding starting your own business and although that is something I want to try, I&#x27;m more curious right now about the feasibility of finding a job outside the country. The question is, I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s even possible.<p>How would a company even determine if I&#x27;m worth hiring and going through all the work to get me a work visa if they can&#x27;t even interview me in person? Would they tolerate my crappy internet if they try to interview me over Skype? What if the position was for something mid-to-entry level and not some key position. Would it still be worth the hassle to get me on board?<p>I actually got in touch with German company who had a job posting for JS developer and asked them this very question and their reply was encouraging[0] but I wondered if I could get more input from other sources.<p>I guess I ask cause I keep hearing complaints about the lack of talent and it makes me wonder if that&#x27;s a possible opportunity for me.<p>So what are your thoughts?<p>[0] Sociomantic Labs response to my question[1] &quot;For our team in Berlin we often hire outside of the EU and have lots of experience with this. We have 35 different nationalities in the office and always welcome a new team member outside of the EU.&quot;
