Career Internationalization and the U.S. Market
It is possible to continue one’s professional career when moving to the United States or to internationalize a company born in Brazil. Above all, it is crucial to understand the details and differences between the Brazilian and American job markets.
According to financial advisor Christiano Aguiar, who has worked in the U.S. for over 20 years, a significant factor is the emphasis on meritocracy. “Americans tend to be more focused on results than on interpersonal relationships, which means those who are truly qualified have real chances for development and success.”
Aguiar, who is the General Manager of Garavello Capital—an American financial advisory firm—states that moving to another country requires a vision beyond the perspective of infrastructure, taxes, and quality of life. For him, realistic information about the job market is fundamental to immigration success. “I have seen a high demand from Brazilians for opportunities in states like Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Each of these states has its strengths and particularities, such as tax incentives and a mild climate, but I have warned many professionals not to prioritize these factors alone while overlooking the vast opportunities in other economic hubs like New York and major urban centers.”
What do the researchers say?
Statistical data shows that the state of Texas had the largest numerical population increase in the country, surpassing any other U.S. state. Data also revealed that in 2023, Florida recorded the highest number of new residents from other states, with 649,467 newcomers choosing the “Sunshine State,” moving to cities such as Orlando, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island, and, of course, the capital, Miami.
The U.S. job market is dynamic and complex, constantly evolving due to technological, economic, and social advances. In light of this, Aguiar highlights the importance of staying tuned to trends and the impacts of technology, such as automation and Artificial Intelligence, which are creating new opportunities while minimizing others. According to Aguiar, the current generation is very fast when it comes to technology. “Being prepared is fundamental and makes all the difference when standing out in the job market. In the U.S., this is even more relevant because the corporate culture is generally very fast-paced and results-oriented—yet another reason to stay updated on trends and avoid becoming vulnerable amidst the common competitiveness of the American market,” noted the businessman. He also emphasized the unique value of Brazilians, who are highly qualified professionals and well-regarded by both American and Brazilian entrepreneurs.
High-Demand Professions in the USA
The sectors of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), along with healthcare, continue to offer great possibilities for professional growth. Based on research published by the National Library of Medicine, the country predicts a physician deficit in every state. According to this data, the U.S. will face an estimated shortage of 139,160 doctors by 2030, and researchers believe this deficit will have varied impacts across regions.
To address this scenario, state laws have been created to attract foreign doctors. One of the pioneers in identifying this need was Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, with laws like HB 1312 aimed at minimizing the healthcare professional shortage. Following suit, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis approved a new legislative package known as “Live Healthy” to attract foreign doctors to his state. With an investment of over $1.5 billion, this package promises to strengthen Florida’s healthcare system by removing certain requirements, such as the need to repeat medical residency in the U.S.
Experts believe these state actions signal diverse opportunities for the foreign public in the American market. “As a financial advisory firm in the U.S., we seek to closely understand the different aspects of our clients and accompany them throughout the journey of internationalizing their companies and careers. The market is increasingly competitive, dynamic, and highly technological; therefore, adaptability and a global business vision are fundamental,” explained Christiano Aguiar.
The Garavello Capital team develops financial planning coupled with immigration planning for families, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. According to their advisors, it is extremely important for professionals interested in internationalizing their business and career to stay alert to the constant transformations in American society so that the search for opportunities is assertive and promising.
