Hey all
I’ve been traveling around a bit on a working holiday / gap-year to get some mind-space after a stressful software engineering job.
I’m looking to start doing some programming/analysis work again, but have no clue where to start.
I have the experience, but I don’t know how to find a job that would allow me to work remotely and keep traveling from the start. My experience is quite general (mostly full-stack java programming, but more interested in open-source projects and rust programming), and I’m not very confident to fill in any senior level role.
I suppose another option would be to start in a company on-site first, and then try to ask the option to go fully remote, but I’m not sure all companies are open to that these days.
What are your thoughts?
Curious how this has gone for you! I just started my nomad adventure doing part time consulting, and I can say that it’s pretty nice once you get things lined up.
Still on an (extended) gap year.
I’ve found that the way i’ve approached things was not really healthy in the long run.
And I’m not really going to get a programming job anytime soon for the moment.
I still do some projects for myself in my free time, but I’m looking more into something that’s not mentally taxing and gives me the time to work on what I enjoy.
