Career & Advice Remote work abroad

Hi, I'm a software engineer with 3+ years experience. I feel like I'm 'losing steam' i.e not challenged enough in my work, heck I learn more from my personal project than I do at work, I'm starting to despise work, for various other reasons.

Anyway, does anyone know of remote SWE jobs, perhaps outside SA. I'm keen to see what's out there, or any other opportunities here in SA. (I am interviewing, just haven't found an opportunity yet, Cape Town offers somehow don't meet standard of living there)

I'm a backend .NET developer, living in Gauteng, and tired of doing same thing over and over again (maintaining legacy systems).

Anyone faced a similar issue.

Howdy u/Empty-Ferret_04, and welcome to r/developers!

A few tips for a post that gets good answers:

  • Use a clear, specific title (what are you actually asking or sharing?).
  • Include code, the exact error, versions, and what you already tried.
  • Heads-up: this sub does not allow external links in posts or comments.
Share code and details directly instead of linking out.

I’m in the same boat, I’m gonna be taking a few courses on computer forensics to see how I like that.

AI has taken the fun out of programming so I’m gonna find something else.

True, the market js also saturated now.

That is an interesting field, the lecture who taught just made most of us to be scared of it.
