Quit job where it wasn't clear what my role was and took up another focused as a front-end developer (remote), decided I didn't want to work as a remote developer any more and took up another full-time job as a front-end engineer for a big Co in Europe.

Never been to Europe before lived all my life in west-africa so I'm very excited.

Thank you.

Wish you same.

I started running for 30mins every day. I'm not overweight but I've lost a few pounds and I feel much more healthier.

Hey, I'm from Nigeria in West-Africa also self taught and learned about remote jobs. It's really easy to get one especially in Europe. You just have to know your stuff, pick a technology and focus on it. It pays to be a T-shaped individual i.e know a technology very well and a little bit of others. I have worked successfully as a remote developer for a startup in Stuttgart, Germany and currently relocating to Berlin to work at a Bigger(IPO'd) company as a front-end engineer.

There are tons of startups looking for remote devs. Most times to the employers the pay is really cheap, but when converted to your local currency you are a millionaire and you can live the good life and pursue bigger opportunites like I did. Spend the money by investing in yourself. Buy programming books, pay for courses. Just keep getting better.

Most of Africa is shut-out from the technological advancement happening in the world but you can be a part of it by taking advantage of the internet, using your financial resources to learn a lot and fill knowledge gaps in your skills. You will discover once you start seeking out remote dev opportunities that there is a lot to learn.

I am thankful for the internet and all the opportunities it has provided me.

no truer words have been spoken here.

> 'the lazy people' will just do nothing all day?

IMHO It's a bad thing considering the fact that a lot of people worked hard to get us to where we are today.

Got both my first remote gig outside my country() and also a fulltime Job. I'll be traveling to Europe in a bit.
