Hello everyone,

For a certain demographic of people (e.g: small-town, non-top-tier university grads), there seems to be a ceiling on the technical skills they can master. This is mainly due to lack of opportunities in their local setting, including access to experienced mentors. Advances in online education and the possibility of remote work should help eliminate that, but as we seen with the relative lack of success of MOOCs, this can be very hard to achieve. Additionally, remote work that is technically challenging is often reserved to senior engineers or those with prominent open-source contributions.

My question is: Where can I find remote work/mentorship that is challenging - regardless of compensation - without having to sacrifice babies to prove my worth?

P.S: My email is in my profile.
