You are the product here, or well, people like the former you in theory."Cheap" developers, the American companies win, this "innovative" company wins, and the developers get screwed. Do you want to work with American companies? Open an US account as a person or as an LLC (it is very easy these days) and request to be paid there in USD.

However opening up an LLC and a bank account is not that easy, when you are from latin america, and receiving the money in a US bank account implies you have to report to the IRS.
Opening an LLC as a sole foreign proprietor is very easy. Not only that, if you dont physically conduct business in the states (as in a developer programming from outside) you dont pay any taxes in America (you still have to file of course). Getting a bank account is also easy with an established LLC, directly with Mercury or indirectly through Stripe.

Report to IRS is not a bug is a feature you have to pay taxes somewhere and there are plenty of non double taxation agreements within the US and Latam.
Amazing. Thanks for the feedback. With your help we can get better.
