I am someone who has been interested in cloud freelancing for a very long time except freelancing and cloud don't seem to go well together for me. I've had zero callbacks when I tell them I'm a freelancer.
The companies I've worked with in the past have even the dev environments on the cloud pretty locked down and access to any higher environments are usually locked down even more. Given that cloud has a lot of important data and companies are usually very selective in how they give out access. How do you do freelance work when it comes to cloud?
Can you please elaborate? If cloud freelancing is something that looks like it could be within my reach it would make my family and I's life easier in so many ways.
PS: I'm from a relatively third world country so please factor that in.
How do you do contract work where you get paid a significant amount without even meeting the person? How does a company or a person trust you to give you some work without even meeting in person. You must be doing something super right that some of us might not know that would open doors for us.
>Kind of depends what you are getting paid, but if it is less then $100k say, you
can easily find remote jobs that pay more, play them off against each other.
Someone from Asia who is pretty good at their work can get a fully international remote job that pays north of 100K USD? Is this practically possible or is it super difficult like say getting into MIT or CMU. I'm asking because this seems farfetched and I have no idea how these things actually do play out in the real world.
Librem is 1299 USD which is roughly 100000 INR. I cannot afford that. Even If i could it is not available in India. Pinephone is not available in India either. What other options do I have?
A tiny anecdote just so you know the other extreme exists. I've lived very close to a beach (200 metres or so) for about 1.5 years and never got tired of the beach. Barring day where I was unwell or out of town, I went for a walk or a swim every single day. All my current career goals are centered around eventually settling down near a beach!
