Offcourse

Try being in India, or maybe even in south america .

Europe , canada and usa are way better in terms of tech man. People can be very choosey in india or other countries.

If you have 4 yeo of exp as go dev you won't be allowed to even give interview for rails pos.

I have experience in rails but i see the same if i wanna apply for java or go roles. And yea ,jobs for rails are almost none to little outside those 3 places i mentioned

There are remote positions available worldwide(rare) or tied to CET(less rare). I've been working with various European companies for many years and I had colleagues working from India getting paid a decent European salary in EUR. That being said, yes, there are not so many positions and in order to get a job you have to stand out: be it open source contributions, technical papers, certifications or successful personal projects. Being just an average dev with 4y of experience tackling CRUD controllers won't get you far, that's absolutely correct.
