Those who don't have this requirements but know their onions how can they bypass this

Just apply anyway. You do not always have to tick all the requirements before applying. Most of these requirements are just aimed at the ideal candidate not realistic enough

DrLevi:
Don't let all you focus be on a "remote" job. Remote which I feel translates to "foreign".

Just get a job, any job.

The experience of having previous work would help you land a foreign one faster than going from a nothing to a $$$$ role. Sure, it can happen but let's not kid ourselves here, the local marketplace is a more pleasant place than the international one, you don't want to know what competition is out there.
You also would already have learnt some basic concepts like how to smash interviews, to negotiate compensation etc. Fidgeting about when the opportunity of a foreign job presents itself would only hurt you as you would be learning from opportunities you're suppose to be smashing.

So apply for all jobs, local and foreign and take what feels right, build your skill, learn some more and set yourself up for bigger opportunities.
Just because "remote" is a popular word out there and should be your focus doesn't mean it is that easy to come by.


Personal advice though.
1. You're more likely to get that role if you ask for a lot more than you actually hope to be paid.
2. Sell yourself, but never oversell yourself. If you need more practice, then take time and get more practice. Trust me, you don't want to be incompetent while on a deadline and a scrum master on your neck on the status of a ticket. You would hate yourself.
3. Build actual products, not typical Todos and calculators. Make your portfolio website sometime unique and filled with unique projects.
4. Conversational skills is everything. A little joke here and there but an air of professionalism and a clear cut show of knowledge(you know your stuff) can help you more than your portfolio can. One thing you want to do is win the heart of the employer by also the team. If your team doesn't like you, e don be for you.

Wishing you luck out there.

Hi
I'm just curious
Are a medical doctor and also in tech??

Honestly DrLevi is spot on but there's something I want to add. Since your skills are mostly front-end and you need a job asap, forget about product based companies. Even the smallest unknown ones require very serious intense data structures and algorithms preparation. That thing is very tough. I am studying and I know what I am seeing.

I will advise you to focus on applying to agencies and dev shops both foreign and local. Their processes aren't strenuous and if you actually learnt what you are supposed to have learnt and known as a junior dev, you will have a job in no time. You can then start learning dsa when you have that job. Look for agencies that specialist in WordPress, Salesforce, Drupal, Shopify and other platform development. They are the easiest place to start your career now. Forget product based companies even in Nigeria it's very hard to join a product based company except your leg inside is very strong.

My leg no strong oh
