I just feel like adding this, though I stand to be corrected. If you are looking to get remote jobs in countries like USA, Canada or Europe, you might find it easier if you are a frontend developer than if you are a backend developer. Especially when you don't have many years of experience.

Yeah, I am a full stack developer but I focused on frontend (VueJs and Reactjs) when I realised this because I have always hoped to get a remote job and earn in dollars. Right now I am expecting positive results from three different companies in USA, Colombia, and Poland.
I have already passed their assessment tests (I was asked to build a mini app) and waiting for the final interview. I hope I will be favoured.

You managed to connect with them through LinkedIn, right? Or through alternative means?

nice. Please if I may ask, what was the function of the mini app? As in what was it meant to do?

One was a React app that basically does CRUD. The company provided an API endpoint. Though I was told specifically to use Redux for state management.

The Second one was specifically a vue app and it's quite complex. I have to search for images matching words entered in a search field and do some mapping. After which I will generate an invoice using the company's in-house API.
Quite complex!

The third was an app for streaming musical beats with waveform visualisation. No preferred language but I used VueJs because that's my preferred framework.

Pay tax? Are you hired as a full-time employee?

On contract but you still have to file tax returns.

You can't do nodejs without knowing javascript. Just like you, I started with php but ported to javascript so that I can use same language for front and back end development. You can stick with php as there are still many websites built with it, but you can take up wordpress too.
