This can help you meet potential employers and learn about job opportunities.

Moreover having a solid Github profile also serves as a 'proof of work' and will help you immensely.

4. Contribute to open source projects:

It also your communication skills and team-working abilities.

I can't stress this one enough.

Be an OS contributor and you'll stand out!

There are many websites that specialize in helping remote workers find jobs, such as Remote . co and We Work Remotely.

Leverage these opportunities and help them help you.

Connect with other professionals from the industry, join relevant groups, and search for jobs using keywords such as "remote".

You can search for these companies using websites like RemoteWorkHQ or Virtual Vocations.

This can make you more visible to potential employers.

Share what you've learnt, the mistakes you made and how you overcame them.

10. Use AngelList:

AngelList is a job board that focuses on startups, many of which are open to hiring remote workers.

While a little risky, joining a startup has benefits as well.

You get to learn a ton. You'll have more authority and your growth trajectory will be sharper.
