TL DR: I did a lot of data scraping. I have a proven track record (Produced and maintaining the best bot in a niche market that relies on live data scraping and analysis). I live in a developing country near EU. I will graduate from the top university in my country (qs top 500 nothing much but ok imo) which I entered with a full merit scholarship.
I can’t find good job listings or the ones that look god offer joke amount of wages after all convoluted interviews are complete. I feel like US ones just try to take advantage of me, even local companies offer more and our currency is horrible against the dollar.
I can land much more paying jobs easily in any other field.
I am starting to feel like my best skill is worthless. I know you can’t do just data scraping as a developer but is leveraging my reverse engineering or “ethical” data scraping skills even possible? You may think I am an alien to the industry because I mostly did freelancing and my big personal project.
Thx for the insight.
