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.<p>I have moved to a very low COL place in order to save money and have been thinking about getting a remote IT job.<p>- I've lived in Germany and the US so I speak both languages fluently.<p>- 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.<p>- 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.<p>- I sometimes program small android apps for fun (python, kotlin, flutter).<p>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.<p>If you were in my position how would you go about getting a remote job in IT?<p>What skills / languages / frameworks would be feasible to be learned in 3-6 months and get an entry job for ?
JavaScript is probably the fastest way. I don't know what your friends on discord were talking about or what their approach was for getting a job. What you need is a few really good personal projects on your GitHub, a nice resume website, and the ability to demonstrate your skills. Get on LinkedIn and connect with people.<p>Out of curiosity, where have you moved that only requires 500 bucks a month?
