If you live in France a “local job” means get a job in France. I did not mean to get a job where you were born. Also, I do think an onsite first job is better than remote anyway.

I have a degree in Economics. I worked in the social sector for seven years, then in marketing for about six years. I learned to code when I was 37yo to change careers.

If you prefer backend, study backend. It matters a lot that you are studying what you like more. And, between back and front, there is no difference in what hires more. Maybe backend hires more, but both hire a lot.

It is very easy for an American company to hire an international contractor. Much less paperwork than hire a local fulltime employee. But most large companies don’t want to do it for potential labor law issues. If they hire someone as contractor that works fulltime and has the same work relationship as a regular employee, the companies risk an expensive lawsuit. The risk is much lower for intentional ones I believe. Anyway, this is decided before you apply. If they accept hiring globally remote means they accept international contractors.

On your side you just sign a contract and send very simple invoices that you can create your self on Word or Excel.

I’ll email you.
