Here in Brazil the main reason for these rejections, what I suppose to be in more than 90% of times, are the salary expectations. It's the first thing they ask about and, even if they call you for personal interview, it's only to build a large number of candidates because they will choose the cheaper one. Almost all the times you will never even receive a return.

Software engineering are positions suitable for kids of that guys who lives with parents forever. It's not possible to have a family o raise children with these kind of careers.

I'm so regretful for dedicating my whole life working with IT and computer programming. I was so curious in the beginning, but nowadays I fell like I was stupid.

I'm also unemployed because I left a position in a bad company about three weeks ago. The last information I received states that a lot of people are leaving as well.

Why not leave your country? Europe is open for people coming from Brazil, somehow this nation fits into European culture.
To be honest I don't know. And I don't think that Europe is open for us. Brazil exported a lot of non skilled illegals for everywhere in past. The Spanish, for example, seem to hate us. They love to establish their corrupt companies here in our territory, what is a very profitable place due to our huge life cost, but they don't like our people there.

What happens is that there are a lot of descendants of Italians, Japaneses and others living here that can easier move abroad. Note that "easier" is not "easily" and it's also not my case.
