Thank you for the advice! This sounds like a great idea and I will definitelly give it a try. Also, thanks for remoteok link.

On a side note: Freelancing sites were my first plan and I created an account on Upwork but it seems like it's impossible to earn anything there. Every front-end job has at least 30 proposals, mostly from Indians and Eastern Europeans willing to work almost for free. And it's also a chicken and egg situation: you can't get a job with no positive feedback, but you also can't get rated without getting a job.

Yeah I can relate to that. Even I thought of doing some freelance stuff while I was in college, but you can't compete against people with $5-$10 per hour rates.

Also there are a couple of companies which are trying to simplify the hiring(interview, visa etc.) process.

2. https://triplebyte.com/

I haven't used their service before. But sometimes ago I read their blog and it sounded interesting.
