🧭 Hired on Crossover: Where are they now? | Ep69 OoO

Hey, Happy Anniversary!

It’s been two explosive years since I started Out of Office.

To celebrate I revisit some of my most popular guests on the show, to ask them what they’ve been up to since we last spoke.

And these 5 remote rockstars brought the thunder!

If you’ve ever wondered what happens to the top 1% of talent hired on Crossover, this episode gives you unique insight into the evolution of their global careers.

This is what happens when the right remote job opens up your world.

This week, I catch up with Funmi, Nelson, Xavier, Gui and Aliza to explore the ups and downs of working remotely in a top tier tech position, from anywhere.

…Remember the guests?

🧱 Funmi Emore & Nelson Ogungbure / Nigeria

I met Funmi & Nelson in Lagos, Nigeria to talk remote hustle during a pottery class. There, they shared how they've sculpted their careers into something extraordinary.

These elite remote pros turned rapid skill-building into lucrative remote jobs, smashing through economic barriers back home.

🚕 Xavier Villarroel / Chile

Just a few years ago, Xavier was an L3 Customer Support Agent hustling as a taxi driver in Chile, making just $9 profit from a grueling 12-hour shift.

Since landing a job on Crossover and joining the Trilogy team, he's been globe-trotting and raking in 16 times the median wage!

🤸🏻‍♀️ Guilherme Colombo / Brazil

Gui, the VP of Strategy and Operations at Trilogy invited me into his new home and shared some gems about how the company designs and builds our hiring pipelines.

He spoke frankly about global culture, earning the right pay and the struggle to reach people who would massively benefit from shifting to remote work in Brazil.

🏞️ Aliza Saeed / Pakistan

Aliza set her sights on Crossover years ago, and didn’t stop applying until she made it in. She told us as much on LinkedIn, so I promised her if she made it, we’d feature her in an episode. And she did!

I walked with her through the forests of Islamabad and heard her story – it still inspires millions of Crossover hopefuls to this day.
