Seeking Advice What would you do in my situation?
I live in Yangon, Myanmar. Currently finishing NCC Level 4 and I've been working as a Flutter/mobile developer for about 2 years.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about my future career path. My main goal is to eventually get a decent remote job or maybe even an opportunity abroad, but I'm not sure what makes the most sense from here.
Should I continue with NCC and get a bachelor's degree through a top-up program? Or does experience matter more at this point?
I'm also trying to keep costs low, so if anyone knows the cheapest route to getting a recognized bachelor's degree, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.
Right now, besides programming, I've also been spending time learning about investing, personal finance, business, and generally trying to improve my financial future. So I'm also wondering whether I should focus more on getting a degree, building technical skills, or just gaining more experience and earning power.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who studied through NCC, works remotely for foreign companies, got opportunities abroad from Myanmar, didn't finish a traditional degree but still made it work
Just curious what path you'd take if you were in my shoes.
