Hi! I’m a DevOps/Sysadmin/whatever from the USA (California). I accidentally got married while on vacation 8 years ago and never really came back. Since I moved, I’ve only been able to find work about 50% of the time. Getting a work permit in Europe basically isn’t possible without a degree. I’ve been unemployed since Covid began. It was quite humbling going from complaining about recruiters to spending my days staring blankly at job sites for 10 hours per day. Going back to the USA is out of the question, but nobody in Europe will do a work permit for somebody without a college degree. Finding consulting has proven impossible due to the timezone difference. Upwork and other similar sites are worthless, unless you’re a guy with 30 years experience (I am) who is willing to work for $10/hour (I am not). I’m done with working in this part of tech. Which other realms might be more conducive to remote work with minimal interaction? Maybe it’s time to give up and become a landlord instead?
