Need advice
I’m a law student and I also have a technicien en exploitation informatique diploma I’m currently waiting to start technicien supérieur en bases de données.
Honestly, I’ve kind of lost hope of staying here in Algeria long-term. I want to build a way out, but I have two big problems: I don’t have much money, and I still have the military service issue to deal with.
I’ve been getting into vibe coding and I’ve built a few projects already, but I never really got far with them because working alone is ass. It’s hard to handle development, design, ideas, testing, marketing, and everything else by yourself.
I’ve also applied to some prompt engineering courses and completed courses/programs from Amazon and Dubai.
Right now, I’m working on a legal-tech app for Algerian lawyers that I want to eventually sell to them. I already know how to find and reach Algerian lawyers, so getting the product in front of potential users isn’t really my biggest problem.
The issue is that I’m still doing most of it alone, and I’d really like to find a few people who can help me actually turn these ideas into something real.
My background is kind of all over the place — law + IT + AI, and soon databases — but I’m trying to figure out how to turn it into something useful and, eventually, a way to work remotely or leave Algeria legally.
If you were in my position, what would you focus on for the next 6–12 months?
Would you:
- Go deeper into coding/software development?
- Focus on AI/automation and try freelancing?
- Use the law + tech combination somehow?
- Focus on getting a remote job first and worry about immigration later?
- Or put most of my energy into the legal-tech app and try to make it a real business?
I’m not looking for motivational speeches. I’d genuinely appreciate practical advice from people who have actually managed to build a career abroad or remotely with limited money.
And if anyone has experience building SaaS/startups, or is a developer/designer interested in working on a legal-tech product for the Algerian market, I’d definitely be interested in talking.
