C++ junior remotely - is it real?

Actually a question in a subject. There are practically no vacancies in my zazhopinsk, especially C++. There is no opportunity to move yet, there is no desire to rivet sites on freelance (they account for most of the freelance work), but there is a desire to learn programming and work, albeit for food (~ 30k per month). Googling for vacancies gave the following result: most want to work in the office, and if remotely, then C ++ gurus who write in it from birth.
What are the chances of such a job, provided that there is:
- knowledge of C ++ at the level of Prat 's book
- a little Qt
- basic knowledge of PC architecture and assembler (I can write a program that works in real processor mode)
- Linux (I can set up a bunch of nginx + some web server, well, or set up vlan on proxmox)
- a little java, C # and python
- html, css, quite a bit of javascript
- English at the level of reading and listening comprehension (if they speak not too fast)
- ability to google
- mathematics at the level I can describe the rotation matrix in computer language
- desire to learn and interest in programming
How likely are you to get a job will increase if you come in large numbers in non-rubber?
I will be glad to any answers, advice, comments :)

Are you sure you want a C++ job? So far, what you wrote looks like, I know everything a little bit, I'm ready to do what they say. Do you really need it? can English + web development on React and forward? Higher salaries, more jobs.
Typical c++ vacancies:
1) Games: usually developed by large teams concentrated in one place. You need to look for a city with a game studio, push on knowledge of C ++, game engines and mathematics.
2) Mobile games: stands apart from the previous paragraph, remote vacancies are quite possible. It is desirable to have a made game in the portfolio, you can clone it. You can look for vacancies that require a test task, Zeptolab has been around for a while.
3) Software that performs calculations and is demanding on resources/response time (trading bots, scientific calculations), juniors are not needed, especially students.
4) Desktop software: remote vacancies are very rare, usually large companies located in DC1, DC2.
If you really want to in c ++, then lick your resume to a shine, so that it would not be such that I go to microcontrollers and write what I know js + html and nginx.
Make a few open source PRs, make your Tetris-like knee game. In general, what you can show and then you will be in the top 10% of applicants for any junior/middle vacancy.

Usually, more experienced and independent people are taken to remote work. If there is a shortage of personnel, then they can take it without experience. But it is better to look at all the options and discuss each vacancy separately. How much experience in development?
there is as an example playrix

and if remotely, then C ++ guru

And who needs a green newcomer who will constantly miss deadlines?
Well, then you don’t have enough knowledge for a junior. Wherever the word "a little" occurs, it means that you have 0 knowledge in this aspect. For example, "a little Qt" most likely means that you just installed the environment and tried to declare a couple of variables.
Upgrade your skills. If you want to get a job (it doesn’t matter if it’s remote or not), the portfolio will decide.

30k is a hell of a lot of food in the region

Wow, a person has conceit) He thinks that 30k is for food, and even from home. Yes, we very often want to go to the office for 30k from call to call, and experience to have more than a year. If you are not a rare pro in your field, no one will just put 30k on the table for you to work from home. I want to work at home, I need to look for small private orders, to form my circle of clientele. But at the initial stage, until you have acquired regular customers, you can not even dream of 30k. Most of the time will be spent on the search, and not on the work itself.
