Hello everyone, trust you’re doing great.
I just turned 25 and I’ve been disturbed lately with the direction my life is taking and if I do not course correct in time, there’s no way I’m going to make it.
I am software developer, proficient in JavaScript and I can write both frontend and backend. Here’s my GitHub repo for reference purpose https://github.com/muhammvd.
I’ve been working for two years now earning peanuts 65$/month equivalent in ₦aira, I do get some gigs on and off that’ll pay like 200$ or 300$ but they are far off and landing good paying gigs have been a huge problem for me. my goal last year was to get my income to 1000$/month so that I could quit the job and focus on my startup (which has potential, I’ve had like 355 users and I’m currently working on the v2) but it didn’t work out.
I feel stuck and kind of anxious on what the future holds for me if it continues like this. I’ve applied to hundreds of remote software roles and have passed interviews but wasn’t able to land a role.
I took a leave from work and I’ll be resuming on Monday, I really don’t want to repeat the same thing again that’s why I created this post to see if I can get some help in terms of direction I need to take to get better results.
