This is as close to a Hollywood rags to riches story as it gets.

Re "Do you know other jobs that can be done remotely and where non-native English speakers aren’t at such a big disadvantage?", design also comes to mind, but software engineering seems to be the absolute best.

Thank you. Design is very broad, what specialization do you think works best for non native speakers? Asking because Code to Inspire also proposes design courses now.

Anything that's more technical and doesn't require much communication, so the further away from graphic design the better. UX is probably tricky too because it often takes a lot of team work and interactions with product. Maybe UI / component design?

Let me ask a designer friend and shares the results by email.

Absolutely, UI/component design could be a great fit! It tends to be more technical and less reliant on extensive communication or team interactions compared to UX design. Your designer friend's input will be valuable, and I look forward to hearing the results via email. Thanks for exploring the possibilities!
