Have you considered picking up freelance node.js work? I run a website called FreelanceInbox.com that is designed to help freelancers find quality leads without having to spend time a lot of time searching. You could probably handle small projects and develop your skills that way.

I'd multiply that by at least 5 if you're in the US and you're any good.
Nope, i'm from Eastern Europe.
Edit: Let me clarify - not saying that Eastern European programmers are better or worse but the living costs are obviously lower in Eastern Europe than say Western Europe.

It might be tough to get hired in that scenario. You might want to bootstrap this idea by first doing some of your own Node projects.

This is a very hard to question to answer you and there is no actual solution to give you. It all comes down to how good you really are.

Hi, I'm just here to confirm Muphry's law[1]. You missed an indefinite article here: If you are looking for job in your native language, ... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law
What I do is "plant small seeds" on the web (like: articles, video talks), which acts as "ads" for my skills. Then I make sure I can be found online (twitter, site, forums). It's a midterm strategy but works very well (I've worked 100% remotely during the last 3 years).
Sounds interesting.
