Thanks for mentioning QA, that was not on my radar.

The depression is currently not a problem. It's main reason, the skin problem, is fortunately gone.

That site looks useful, thanks.

Interesting ideas, thanks. Definitely worth to investigate more.

That's a good point.

Here it is common to have a probation period between one to three months, which can be terminated by both parties on short notice. And you can also define a lower salary during this period.

Hence the workaround with being a contractor first is probably not necessary with a local employer, but with a foreign employer it's probably the only solution.

Good point, thanks.

Good idea about the freelancing sites, that could buy me some more time. Thanks.

Thanks for your great points.

Thanks for your idea, this was not on my radar so far. I'll have to investigate it further.

Thanks for your idea.

Unfortunately I don't have any Apple hardware. I have to check whether there is a way to do it on Linux.

Ah not really. You can learn swift on linux for sure, but none of the UI stuff. I started on a cheap Hackintosh but that might not be an option anymore.

You could do the same with Android as well. Most major apps want to support both platforms and will have needs for devs with both skill sets.

That are good project ideas, thanks.
