Best of luck, brokedev. The only piece of advice I have is that you should see remote work as a long-term goal, not an immediate solution to your problem. Remote jobs are generally harder to find, usually pay less, and are almost always more competitive. The easiest way to get a remote job without years of experience is to perform well enough at a non-remote role that they trust you to work from home full time.
(About your former boss: I know that in most states, employers can fire you at any time for any reason, but generally you'd expect them to actually fire you, not just delete your slack account. Makes me wonder if he was planning on telling you at all or if he instead intended to just stop payment on your paycheck and hope you'd figure it out for yourself. What an asshole.)
- dba7dba 11y agoI second this. Pretty much a lot of tech workers prefer remote jobs over onsite job, for good reasons. The only ones that get remote jobs are either very senior, have proven track record or they are free-lancers. So I'd say keep looking for it every once in awhile but focus on getting a local job. And always be learning. Always try to work on side project. It will help learn and also may turn out to be an income source.
