Suggestions for people outside of the US. And how I went from unemployed to making more money than my friends with engineering degrees in just 2 months (in my country)

No comments :

I'm a 24-year-old dude from Mexico, last November I was unemployed and came across an ad on Facebook for 5ca, an European Customer Support company with plenty of Work from home positions available. (currently only hiring people outside of the Us AFAIK)

After a veeeery long process (32 days from the first interview to the first training day) I am now working 26 hours a week as a Chat support agent ($6.44h). During those 32 days of waiting, I also sent an application to Lionbridge and was contracted as an Internet Search Evaluator, Where I work an approx time of 9-10 hours per week ($7.77/h)

I'm also a Twitch Chat moderator for a streamer, I get paid $50 a week to watch his streams and ban toxic people (around $200 a month) I do this on my free time as entertainment so I just see this as some extra cash.

This brings my total income to approx 1,250 USD = 25k MXN (Mexican pesos) a month. I have personal friends that have been working in the engineering field for around 4 years who are currently making between $650 and $1100 a month.

And yes, I know there are things to keep in mind like work and law Benefits. But I'm simply talking about income in this Thread. And all of it is done 2 ft away from my bed.

If you're outside of the US. I highly recommend both 5cA and Lionbridge. I won't provide Referral links, but a quick Google should be enough to find the companies' websites. Just keep in mind that the process is very long. If you send an email tomorrow and get hired, you'd receive your first payment until mid-April.
