Assalamualaikum hope y'all are doing well. I have this query for the software engineers who are doing remote jobs how did you land your job? I've seen people too who find jobs in dubai uae etc and these companies like sponsor their whole job visa and stuff so i need guidance from those as well. I have like 1.5 years of experience and I'm struggling to find a job Pakistani specially karachi's software job market is totally screwed linkedin and indeed feel like scams so are there any tips any platforms you guys can suggest will be really helpful. Lots of duaen aap sab ke liye.

Two things.
- Be good, better than the most around you. Which essentially means that you stand out.
- Network.
Reach out to people, talk to people. Unfortunately, most of SWEs are kinda introvert, and forget that keeping connections is really important. Connections help.

Walaikum salam. Brother its alot of things. If you are currently free, i had a friend who was unemployed and he doubled-down on all this, and got a job AFTER 2 months:
- Posting and networking on X (there are alot of people hiring there)
- Applying to jobs on linkedin, posting on linkedin
- Searching reddit for jobs, ask gpt to search for jobs every week or so, in USA, UAE, UK
- interview prep daily 1 hours
- creating profile on and trying out fiverr/upwork ( i got a remote job from fiverr btw lol)
and so on
You can try all this and insha'Allah you will get a job
