It's all down to your coworkers. Every single bad thing that is talked about in this piece? I've encountered, and I work in tech. I've been desperately searching for another tech job for the past 2 years and striking out every time. Even when I get a second interview, or I have a great 4 hour interview and get along great with a potential new boss. Then there's the places that won't even give me the time of day, who repeatedly reject me for even the most entry-level helpdesk/desktop support type of position. It doesn't help that this is not a big town either.

Given that you live in a small town, have you considering looking for remote work positions?

How can I find good remote work positions that are not scams?
Hi there, have you tried remote? Nobody has ever given me a chance since I never was in tech, but I think I reached competent skills in both web development (django-flask-python) and web design, so I thought I might as well give it a try. I redesigned my website last week and I submitted a bootstrap template to wrapbootstrap yesterday. Maybe it won't work, but then again, what if it does?
Now I am thinking what to do next to add stuff to my portfolio, I have some ideas, I think maybe with a small portfolio I could start getting some gigs and then will see. The only thing I realized is that it takes time, you won't solve this in a day.
