| I've certainly had where I live decided by family issues; so I can empathize. (I get very insulted when recruiters casually suggest that I can move.) The main issue that I see is that you don't have a degree. I can't speak much for outside the US, but within the US it's also difficult to have a long-term tech career without a degree. If you stayed in the US, you might also have similar troubles. (And eventually got a degree, perhaps by doing an online degree during COVID.) Thus, I would suggest figuring out how to get a degree. Having been on both sides of the table, (job seeker and resume reviewer,) I can tell you that the degree means more than you think. Assuming that any job you're applying for gets 100+ applicants, anyone without a degree will be filtered out without due consideration. Even something like an online degree will get your resume past the checkbox. Again, the goal is to get your resume its due consideration. (Because, to repeat myself, when a job opening has 100+ applicants, there are simple filters like "degree required" that get you filtered out before anyone is really reading your resume.) |
