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?

    small contracts would definitely be good for me. I live quite simple, so usually a few days per week (with decent pay) is enough for me. I’m not sure where to look for such contracts though.

    Usually freelancing platforms seem to be a race to the bottom, not really for people who want to do custom coding, but more for people with specific knowledge in wordpress or such who can make a website for cheap.

    What places would people typically look for finding such contracts? I don’t really have connections in the country I’m in at the moment.
