"I can’t imagine being as happy at any other job than I am now."

"I’ve been working here for three years now and it’s the best job I’ve ever had.

Tip 1: Believe the Pay

• Even with all these multinationals that allow you to work remotely, none of them pay as well as Crossover. None of them pay even remotely as well as Crossover does.
• People from all over the world get paid the same. So, where you live doesn’t matter one bit – it’s great. And people should understand why they pay more, unlike the foreign companies with branches in Brazil. They’re paying more because that’s what they believe in doing.
• I realized I’d make what I used to make in a year at my old job in only 10 weeks.
• Today I make roughly twice as much as what I did before.
• I’m being well paid for doing good work.
• Once you start working at Crossover, you realize it’s true - it’s the job of your dreams.

Tip 2: Ditch the Bureaucratic BS

• At Crossover if I’m working, I’m getting paid. And I’m making twice, or three times as much as I would elsewhere.
• As long as you do your part, it’s fine. So, there’s far less company politics involved, and all that intrigue.
• Especially for fiscal reasons, it’s much better financially. You open a company in your name it’s the standard thing to do.
• I send out the invoice weekly. I transfer the money from the Payoneer portal and it’s super easy.
• At Crossover you manage your own vacation time. You can choose how many days you want to take off per year. And when you want to take them.
• You have the freedom to make your own choices. That’s what I like best about it. And it’s extremely fair: they pay you, and you get the work done your way.

Tip 3: Do Your Best on Tests

• The test isn’t hard, you have to be quick-thinking, you have to be smart enough to skip the questions you know you’ll take longer to answer, or the ones you know you don’t know how to answer.
• You have to try your best, and you’ll surely find one of the best work opportunities ever, especially in Brazil.
• When I passed all the tests, I received a form which read something like, “this is the moment to quit your other job.”

Tip 4: Ignore the Haters

• I’ve been getting paid, for over three years, every week – they’re never late. So, if it is a fraud, then it’s a damned good one!
• Lots of HR people say this, that if there’s a vacant position, and it’s always vacant – there MUST be something wrong. But that’s not true, it’s just how things work.

Tip 5: Adopt a Global Mindset

• I think our team has had a great experience of multiculturalism at Crossover. Because for me, I feel that we learn from the professionalism of Filipinos for instance, the work ethic of Turkish people, the goal-orientated attitude of people from India and we share a little of our own Brazilian personality and make a great team, at Crossover, because of that.
• What I found were people who, despite having different cultures, were incredibly receptive and supportive when I needed it. Because when you start working, you inevitably feel a little lost.
• At Crossover, I’ve found I can express myself freely without being judged for being a woman. I’m not judged for my gender, I can simply get to work and do my best and I am valued for it.
• Crossover embraces all cultures, including mine, the Brazilian culture.

Tip 6: Dream Big

• I usually say that we hire someone for their abilities, rather than for what they know.
• If a person knows how to speak English, if she understands how you think, if she can work, if she’s dynamic, she can do multiple tasks, so it doesn’t really matter.
• What I like best about the Crossover culture, is that it’s goal-orientated. Our team has goals, objectives. Our team even has a leaderboard showing every team members performance so you know exactly what you have to do, what your objective is.
• Your future is in your own hands.
