Made $3.5k on Mercor generalist, which I posted.
Mercor is simple especially for Uk people, dedicate few days.
Run your cv and LinkedIn, make the bag.
Make out time for interview that’s all.
If you are in Uk let’s work.
As long as you won’t run with account.
My friend spent almost ₦18 million taking her younger sister to Australia for school.
Six months later, the girl stopped attending classes and moved in with a man she met at work.
When my friend confronted her, she snapped, “Because you brought me here, you want to monitor my entire life?”
My friend stepped back.
Last month, the girl called at midnight. She was pregnant. The man was married, relocating to Canada to join his family, and had blocked her everywhere. She had no money for rent and was stranded.
Their parents begged my friend to take her back. She refused.
Last week, the girl returned to Nigeria with one bag.
Their mother called my friend and said, “Your sister is back home, and you haven’t even asked about her. You’re a bad person!”

I studied the network for about 2 weeks before I made any changes, just network discovery and visiting the different parts of the town. There were so much shit that was missing on that diagram lol

The biggest question I get in 2026 is
IAM or Linux System Administrator?
Both can pay $100K+ salary.
Both offer remote work.
Both can get you into Tech without a degree.
But they are not the same job, and picking the wrong one can cost you a year.
If you’re looking for remote work, Australia is a market you should be paying attention to.
I researched and compiled 3 platforms you can use to find Australian remote opportunities. They offer night shifts for anyone wanting overnight hours and pay between $15 to $50+/hr in USD/AUD.

I’ve seen men disgrace at a club, some park to collect babe digit while the boyfriend is with her, I’ve seen men oppressed at a lounge.
In this life, as a man if you don’t keep it running, your fellow guy will take you off setting and some guys will bullshit you or send drink to your table while with your babe, and cos you broke you can’t do anything.
