if look at upwork, if $1.50 is bad, but above the minimum, is guess $3-5 would be acceptable?
you should fairly easily be able to get freelance gigs at that price, once you've got experience you should have no problem upping your rate to more like $25, or more.
it's worth looking at other freelance sites too. -
@heyheni now am looking for freelancing job during my free time.
-
@heyheni and we live with parents in my country. that's how it works. leaving parents is rather disrespectful here.

@1geek0 Nope, Colombian.
I've tried upwork but never really got to make it work. I'll lower my rate and see y that gets me anything. Meanwhile, I'm working on a personal project so there's that! -
@ununicornio let me know what you are working with, and what kind of work you want, I'll see if I can do anything, drop me an email ;-)
-
@ununicornio sounds interesting! looking forward to that email :-)
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
They break your heart too ðŸ˜ðŸ’”
So, I'm a CS student in a third world country. I love coding and I think i'm pretty good at it.
As I'm kind of poor, I'm pretty much constantly looking for any job I can take, and I've already done a dev gig at a software sweatshop here doing mostly PHP, JS and Android/Java... the dev experience was cool, but money was absolute crap ($1.5USD/hour at the current rate, working 9h/day Mon-Sat, did it while in vacation). Better than min wage in my country but still, looking at the numbers I see from programmers all over the world... it was practically working for free. The real problem is almost every dev job here is similar, so I was looking into going remote but every opportunity I see is for seniors/people with 2-3 years experience or more.
Can you give me some tips on getting a remote job as a student/recent grad with little experience? What would you do in my position? Any input is greatly appreciated!
