Thats a great idea, starting a Pay-It-Forwards thread!
I too would be interested in an invite, happy to share some 🍕
If you're considering moving under a sponsorship, you'll be locked in for at least 5 years - till you get residency. You are essentially at risk for those 5 years, and often can not legally do any other business activity in that country.
Moving to a new country with a new company, new language, culture, weather etc... is a big thing, it takes a lot of energy. Moving to a new country to be a hermit (just working the job and nothing else) is a killer.
One of the great things about building a SaaS is you can do it from anywhere.
If you have the ability right now to work FT + have time left over for your side project, thats an ideal situation to be in.
To increase salary: Are there remote positions you could apply for that still give enough free time?
Certifications: They wont help you with your business and/or long term goals, maybe short term boosts, but not really worth much long term.
Thank you for your response. I agree with your perspective; it seems that staying in my current situation for another 2-3 years might be the best course of action. This would allow me to save enough money to support myself for a year without work, during which I could focus exclusively on developing and launching my product. I realize that this might not be possible if I move to the Western country. Additionally, pursuing certifications would be beneficial for securing a higher salary and promoting growth in my professional career. Based on my gut feeling and the factors we've discussed, I believe that staying in my current location for at least two more years is the most suitable decision for me.
I prefer password
If you do add other providers (Goog, Apple, Fb etc..)
Try to limit it to just a couple. It gets very confusing when theres too many options, always need to think "Which one did I sign up with"
With a password manager it doesn't really matter to me personally but, depending on your audience, most people may not use one. I like social logins for these situations.
And, I agree with adding more providers.
@McPizza To your point on remembering "which one did sign up with?", I like it when apps get me to put in my email address and then show me the method to login with. (Either drop down a password field or show a social login button)
Its actually quite common to "borrow" some.
Theres also services that will generate them for you.
This is a common one in EU: www.iubenda.com/en/
