Well done mate, you're an inspiration. In a few years you'll get that FAANG job if you want it, finger crossed. The problem for me in getting a local job, is I have to go back home (I'm from a poor African country, there are no jobs there and if there are the pay is "shit"). I live in France right now, they are not so so keen on the remote thing, plus the fact that they still really care about degrees, mine is in business. What hires the most, back or front end? I'm leaning more toward back end stuff as I find it more fun, but I would change if it affects my chance of getting a job. What's your background by the way? STEM or completely unrelated? How hard is it for them to hire a contractor? Does it involve a lot of paperwork? An on my side, what do I have to do? How about part-time jobs? PS: Shoot me an e-mail, I'd like to stay in contact with you if that's ok. |

I have a degree in Economics. I worked in the social sector for seven years, then in marketing for about six years. I learned to code when I was 37yo to change careers.
If you prefer backend, study backend. It matters a lot that you are studying what you like more. And, between back and front, there is no difference in what hires more. Maybe backend hires more, but both hire a lot.
It is very easy for an American company to hire an international contractor. Much less paperwork than hire a local fulltime employee. But most large companies don’t want to do it for potential labor law issues. If they hire someone as contractor that works fulltime and has the same work relationship as a regular employee, the companies risk an expensive lawsuit. The risk is much lower for intentional ones I believe. Anyway, this is decided before you apply. If they accept hiring globally remote means they accept international contractors.
On your side you just sign a contract and send very simple invoices that you can create your self on Word or Excel.
I’ll email you.
