Yeah, I had the same issue last year when I was expanding my app. After hitting a wall, I reached out to one of the IT Staffing Companies in the USA. They helped me connect with a few developers from Romania. Honestly, it’s been a lifesaver. These guys know their stuff and the pricing was fair. Time zone overlap was surprisingly good too. I’d suggest going remote before giving up on Laravel.

I totally get that. We were in the same boat when we launched our site. Finding experienced Laravel devs locally was impossible, so we ended up hiring a couple of people from Brazil. It took some getting used to managing a remote team, but their work was great, and Laravel is so flexible, it made the process smoother. I wouldn’t drop the framework—just look internationally. There’s solid talent out there if you expand your search!
