This reminds me of yesterdays "I'm disabled and out of money. Now what?" post. Where an ex founder and developer had problems working half time and earning their living costs of $1500/month.

Multiple people asked why they don't do remote work via UpWork. And the poster answered none of them.

Here it confuses me even more.

Why would someone with coding skills work for 350USD/month?

Can't you work remotely for $XX/hour?

I imagine US sanctions on Iran make working for any company outside of Iran difficult if not impossible.

This, plus remember about the slowly boiled frog, which is exactly what such debilitating sanctions do to an entire population.

The (good?) news is that the OP seems close to a typical burnout snap, after which they might be able to take the necessary risks required to improve their situation. It's not a fun time while it is happening, though.

Iran isn't connected to the world banking system, only way they can tap into the world economy is through crypto and many centralized services and wallets have blocked Iranian artist/dev wallets on known platforms.

Super smart engineers who would otherwise kill it in remote work.

They said they are in Iran. There are restrictions which prevent them from working with several countries. So they are left with what their local market dictates.

But I know Iranians earning crypto for their remote work.
