How to find remote work in a team?

Question

JavaScript

There are a couple of years of unofficial web development experience in 2015 - 2016 (mostly on react.js + node.js) and a year off (in 2017 I was programming as a hobby on elixir / phoenix). Now I decided to take up programming again, I wanted to move from Poltava to Kharkiv, I started looking for options, it turned out that I lack spoken English and experience in companies similar to those I applied to (Epam, DataArt, SoftServe).
In general, now there are absolutely no ideas, so I decided to ask for help here. Tell me what options are there, it is desirable to work in a team, so that there is someone to establish feedback with, otherwise it is often difficult to understand where to go, how best to do it and why?

Answer 1

I'll work with this one for now https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job... found somewhere here on the Toaster.
I investigated the situation further, I realized that without a portfolio you should not rock the boat.
I found a list of typical projects on which you can make a portfolio: https://goo.gl/UPx4Sn
I also want to add that now no one will listen: "I know something a little and did something, but you will finish me up, let me try, I'll try", now it's right to communicate like this: https://goo.gl/8RNNJY , that is, in response to "we are looking for a programmer for such and such a project on that" one must answer "oh cool, I already have such a project in the portfolio, here is the link, you only need to insert your text and pictures" :)
When it comes to javascript, the optimal choice to position yourself as a javascript or frontend programmer seems to be focusing on react.js . Angular has more of its specific features, vue is too new, some wordpress will go to jquery or there will only be layout, node.js for a serious backend is rather unreliable (for example, a Yerlang server can work for ten years without reboots, has cool asynchrony and parallelism, there is a serious system for restarting falling parts through supervisors), although it is quite suitable as a stub server for react :) .

Answer 2

There are a lot of remote vacancies right now. I just recently got into the team, I like everything.
Again, almost no one needs junas at a distance. The necessary experienced middles / seniors to work, and not ask for a tit. :) All projects have deadlines and budget limits, so each team member must produce a predictable and suitable result in a reasonable time.
If you are somewhere in megacities, it’s really possible to get a job as an intern / junior there, again you need to look for a lot of vacancies. If you are from the provinces and do not plan to relocate, then swing to the middle, again, there are enough remote vacancies.
