Which dev platforms can I join so I don’t get stuck with sh**y cheap clients?

Hi all, I’m a full-stack JS developer with 7+ years of experience. I’m thinking of going fully remote and joining a dev platform that can offer me quality clients to work with.

I’m more keen on the curated platforms that would make it easier to reach the top end clients. Long-term projects are preferred over short. I’m based in Brazil so it has to be a platform that hires from Latam region.

What are your recommendations?

You should also speak with your past clients or peers - That should yield you better than Fiverr etc.etc.

I'm specifically looking for a reputed dev platform. Not interested in fiverr, guru and all those sh*ty ones.

I've found work through hackernews, post in Junes "freelancer, looking for freelancer" post. Follow the same format as everyone else, list the tech you know, what sort of responsibilities you can take on. You'll get hits. I'm based in latam as well.

If you want a full time job, check out he "Who wants to be hired" and "Who's hiring"

i haven't used any platforms, i've found jobs through ads on social media and stuff. One agency/recruiting firm i can recommend is donestreet[0], did their interview process, they were able to get me in front of companies very very quickly, who were all basically ready to hire me. I found another opportunity and went with them. But I would contact donestreet if i ever needed to look for another job
