Hi Ilias, we currently support people in United States and a small number in Canada. To be transparent, there are two challenges: 1. We work with people as long as it takes to get a really really good job so the job market in your country has to be similar to the USA so we can expect you to get that job in a reasonable amount of time. Similarly, we can’t typically support deferring based on your income (you can pay upfront) because the salaries have to be similar to here for the economics to work. If you are somewhere with a similar market to the USA it might be possible, otherwise we need to made some changes and offer a specially design program for specific countries. We currently don’t offer immigration or visa support if your plans are to move to the United States for a job. If you are authorized to work in the USA already, than this wouldn’t be a problem even if you are currently not in the USA. 2. Time zones. We are remote, but the day to day is highly collaborative and it’s essential to your success. We support everyone’s unique schedule but most most of the other peoples availability is some times between 9am to 9pm, so if you are not available for about 5 or so hours a week within that time range, it could be hard to make sure you get the best sessions you need to grow every single week. We hope to have better support for 1. in the future and number 2. is solved if enough other Fellows are available at the same times outside that window.
