CarreiraUSA

Career Consulting for Brazilians in the U.S. Corporate Market | New York, NY

CarreiraUSA is a career consulting company created for Brazilian professionals pursuing opportunities in the U.S. corporate market. Founded by Brazilian career strategist Thais Mei in 2020, the company focuses on helping professionals adapt their resumes, positioning, interview preparation and job-search strategy to American hiring practices.

According to CarreiraUSA, more than 1,500 Brazilian professionals have been placed in U.S. corporate roles, with more than 1,200 salary negotiations conducted and over $20 million in negotiated salaries.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🇧🇷 FROM IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE TO CAREER CONSULTING

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CarreiraUSA was founded by Thais Mei, a Brazilian environmental engineer whose own transition into the American job market influenced the development of the company.

Thais arrived in the United States in 2015 as an au pair and later worked in other roles while pursuing entry into the corporate market.

She eventually secured a position at Boston Children’s Hospital and later worked at Veolia, where she gained additional exposure to corporate hiring and HR processes.

That experience became part of the foundation for CarreiraUSA, created in 2020 to support Brazilian professionals navigating similar transitions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💼 POSITIONING BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE FOR THE U.S. MARKET

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

One of the central challenges for professionals moving between Brazil and the United States is presenting previous experience in a format that American recruiters and hiring managers can understand.

Job titles may differ.

Resume conventions are different.

Interview expectations vary.

Professional accomplishments often need to be communicated in a more direct and measurable way.

CarreiraUSA works with these differences by helping clients adapt their professional materials and strategy to the U.S. market.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📄 RESUME, LINKEDIN & APPLICATION STRATEGY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The company’s services include support with:

• resumes for the U.S. market;
• LinkedIn positioning;
• cover letters;
• career strategy;
• interview preparation;
• mock interviews;
• job-search planning;
• salary negotiation.

The objective is not simply to translate a Brazilian CV into English.

It is to organize the candidate’s background, responsibilities and achievements in a format aligned with American recruiting practices.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 CAREER STRATEGY BEFORE APPLICATION VOLUME

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CarreiraUSA emphasizes strategic positioning rather than relying only on a high number of applications.

This can include identifying roles that correspond more accurately to the professional’s experience, understanding how those positions are described in the U.S. market and presenting accomplishments in a way that is easier for employers to evaluate.

For professionals coming from another labor market, this preparation can be important because responsibilities performed in Brazil may not always map directly to American job titles or recruiting terminology.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💬 INTERVIEW PREPARATION FOR THE AMERICAN MARKET

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Interview preparation is another component of CarreiraUSA’s services.

The company works with candidates on how to communicate experience, responsibilities and professional results during interviews with U.S. employers.

This involves more than English proficiency.

Candidates also need to understand how to structure answers, explain achievements and respond to the types of questions commonly used in American hiring processes.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💰 SALARY NEGOTIATION

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CarreiraUSA also provides salary negotiation support.

According to company-published figures, it has conducted more than 1,200 salary negotiations and reports more than $20 million in negotiated salaries across its client base.

For professionals entering a new labor market, compensation discussions can be difficult because salary ranges, benefits and negotiation practices may differ significantly from those in Brazil.

The company includes this stage as part of broader career positioning in the United States.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📊 A NETWORK OF BRAZILIAN PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE U.S.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CarreiraUSA states that more than 1,500 Brazilian professionals have entered U.S. corporate roles through its programs and services.

Its publicly presented alumni network includes professionals across multiple states, including Florida, Massachusetts, California, New York, Texas, Virginia, New Jersey and Washington.

The company’s services are therefore not limited to the New York market.

Its consulting model is designed to serve Brazilian professionals throughout the United States.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🇺🇸 A SERVICE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR BRAZILIANS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CarreiraUSA operates within a specific niche: Brazilian professionals adapting their careers to the U.S. corporate environment.

The company is not positioned as an immigration law firm or traditional recruitment agency.

Its services focus on career preparation, positioning and professional communication.

CarreiraUSA’s FAQ also states that employment is not guaranteed, since hiring decisions remain with employers.

This distinction is important.

The company’s role is to support the candidate’s preparation and strategy rather than promise a specific employment outcome.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

👩‍💼 THAIS MEI & PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL WORK

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Thais Mei remains closely associated with CarreiraUSA’s public presence.

In addition to consulting programs, she produces educational content about careers in the United States and participates in professional and educational events.

CarreiraUSA references appearances and participation connected to platforms and events including SXSW EDU, Brazil Conference at Harvard, Café com ADM and TEDx São Paulo.

These activities extend the company’s work beyond individual consulting and into broader education about Brazilian professional mobility in the United States.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌎 BRAZILIAN PROFESSIONALS IN THE U.S. CORPORATE MARKET

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Brazilian professionals entering American companies often bring education, technical knowledge and professional experience developed in Brazil.

The challenge is frequently not the absence of experience, but the need to communicate that experience effectively within a different hiring system.

CarreiraUSA operates within this transition, helping professionals adapt their career materials and strategy to the expectations of the U.S. market.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌎 STRATEGIC LOCATIONS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🇺🇸 New York, NY — Current U.S. Base

CarreiraUSA identifies New York City as its current home base since 2025.

The company does not publish a New York street address on its institutional website, so no physical address is attributed here.

Its consulting services are offered to Brazilian professionals throughout the United States.

🇺🇸 Boston, MA — Professional Roots

Boston played an important role in founder Thais Mei’s professional trajectory in the United States.

Her experience entering the corporate market there later contributed to the development of CarreiraUSA.

🇧🇷 Brazil — Professional & Cultural Connection

Brazil remains central to CarreiraUSA’s specialization because its services are designed specifically around the experience of Brazilian professionals entering or advancing within the U.S. corporate market.
