Which country should you apply from?

Every country Puente recruits from has professionals placed in US companies. The differences between markets are in relative English proficiency, the concentration of certain role types, and time zone fit. Mexico and Colombia are the highest-volume markets for Puente and tend to be the fastest matches. Brazil is the most selective market due to the English requirement, which means Brazilian professionals who do clear the bar are particularly high-value. Argentina and Uruguay produce strong technical and analytical talent. Central American markets like Costa Rica, Panama, and Guatemala are well-positioned for US companies on the West Coast due to full time zone alignment.

Your English is the single biggest variable. It will determine whether you get through the process regardless of where you are.
