Ask HN: How can get a software job without a degree while being a foreigner?
There's a lot of talk about how, particularly/only in software, degrees are obsolete and you could join a company or successfully make your own without one.
Unfortunately (for my case) these seem (obviously with good reason) focused on people with US residence or citizenship. Are there any post/guide/tips/something for a foreigner? There's a lot of risk involved for a company when hiring any employee. Not having a CS degree and having to jump through added hoops to sponsor a visa (which is a longterm process, and the company likely has a short term need) makes this a challenge. My suggestion would be to start by trying to find remote only/contract positions with a company and build a relationship over time that gives them confidence you will be a productive asset for their team.
