Ask HN: How would -you- find and get a remote entry-level job? To make it short, I live in a developing nation. My start-up had a very promising beginning but covid killed it and the changing business landscape means it never picks up traction again. I have moved to a very low COL place in order to save money and have been thinking about getting a remote IT job. - I've lived in Germany and the US so I speak both languages fluently. - I've studied CS in the US but it was over a decade ago and have never used it in my day job (healthcare and education-related startup) so I might as well be uneducated in the field. - Back in the middle of the year I started learning frontend using the Odin project but stopped after about a month (around intermediate Javascript chapter) since so many people in the discord mention how impossible it was for them to get an interview, let alone get a job. - I sometimes program small android apps for fun (python, kotlin, flutter). I'd like to get my foot in the door even if it is entry level and low paid. 500 bucks a month would be more than enough to cover my very modest needs as I still have some savings. If you were in my position how would you go about getting a remote job in IT? What skills / languages / frameworks would be feasible to be learned in 3-6 months and get an entry job for ? |
