Job hunting in the 3rd world is soul crushing

I know the experience is similar all accross the world but being from Central America as the main breadwinner for my small family of 2, dealing with rent, loans and horrible work environment trying to job hunt to improve my life condition is crushing my soul bit by bit.

This in tandem with a horrible environment thanks to incompetent leadership has me looking for jobs but I cannot apply to pretty much anything locally as i would never get a similar pay to what i have (due to commitments its very unlikely i could take a paycut) and remote options on companies from outside my country set the bar to unreasonable highs even if i have the work experience.

And even if i can meet those requirements i am sure that i get ignored just because i am from a not relevant region of the world, and i have to work 6-7 times harder than many others to live with whats essentially scraps (even though i have to admit i am privileged on my country thats barely enough to live by)
