I can only work remote, for a variety of reasons - what are they? With a visa or some other arrangements you could work non remotely first, which would equip you better to working remotely later in your career. I am 100% remote now, but I believe the first few years non remote taught me a few thing about corporate culture and politics which are hard to guess from far away. If you gel with company culture well, that r…

You start out doing customer support or something similar, then make your way into development once you get hired. Any of those remote job board sites like weworkremotely.com or jobspresso.co check to see if they're also hiring support https://careers.hotjar.com/o/hotjar-customer-support-america... (note, says Americas, but that's just the timezone you're willing to work (EST))

Elastic Search is another company you could try, I assume you speak a second language this will also help for any of these entry positions

I am in the (slow) process to create database binding for RediSQL (https://redisql.com) for several different languages.

My lack of time make it impossible for me to work on these projects but if you are interested I can definitely arrange something!

Eventually I was hoping to release SQL bindings for python, golang and maybe Ruby but any language will do. For each of those I will be able to pay just 200€ that I know is a misery but I can't afford much more.

All the code will be open source, there won't really be deadlines, and is just going to be an informal thing.

If you or anybody else reading is interested feel free to hit my email.

If you enjoy teaching others or helping others solve their programming issues, you can apply to be a mentor on Codementor (https://www.codementor.io) and start building your profile and experience there.
