I'm looking for a remote Windows low-level developer job. have large knowledge in windows internals, win32/NT api, both kernel(wdm) and user mode (primary), c++(old version), x64/x86, huge experiense in debugging, research, etc why all this not work ? exist multiple reasons: 1) my geolocation and remote position: most positions not accepted full remote work. but even if position is full remote - this is not mean everywhere. this is in concrete country or in short list of countries. It is almost impossible to break through this barrier. The company probably has to know you personally and be very interested in you in order to make an exception. 2) my resume. it does not correspond to any templates. it is simply an honest description of my knowledge and experience. such a resume is always simply thrown into the trash. if a few years ago there were still extremely rare reviews on it, now it is an absolute 0. 3) lack of previous jobs. that is, it is not enough to just have the necessary knowledge and experience. You need to have worked somewhere else before 4) there are very few positions in the area that interests me 5) my english is poor. 6) I have very deep knowledge and talent. but in a very narrow area. because of which I simply do not fit into most existing positions that are created for other people 7) I have a very unique coding style and knowledge base. This doesn't reduce my ability to write quality code, but it makes it very difficult to interact with other people who have a different style. 8) Probably 99% of those who see my statuses work in the cyber security field. I have never worked in this field and have no knowledge or experience in it. I don’t know why this happened. And in fact, all of my statuses are seen by the same people 10+ times already. It is obvious that if they can’t offer me anything right away, then after N times this will not change. How can I get into a more relevant circle for me or expand my audience, I don’t know probably the best opportunity for me is when team leaders/developers (not recruiters) post positions in their team here. but so far this has never worked either. they either don't answer or - can't hire a person from my country. recently my question, under status that is quite relevant to me (according to the description) was supported by 14 people, but it had no effect. no one answered me :) or I need a person inside the company who could talk to me, assess my real level, and if it is ok, influence the hiring process. it is clear that this is too much, but less not works and I can't create my own business, or teach, etc. because it doesn't match my skills and personality. I also have my own debugger and utilities. This is not an amateur fake, with minimal functionality, but a very powerful and useful product. But no one is interested. I also have some of my own solutions in the wndows MFA logon area, but again - no one needs it (or my knowledge, experience and capabilites in this area)

2moI have found your profile on some low-level Windows post. You definitely have the knowledge, I struggle with a similar problem and I’m thinking more about shifting towards WebApp development. Because there are more offers and career development opportunities. Although low-level C++ and Windows Internals and cybersecurity related to it will always hold a special place in my heart and it would be amazing to work professionally in such a field. As to your english - if you speak as well as you write I think you should be fine.
