Cryptohostel's journey

I'm currently seeking advice on landing remote AML/KYC roles internationally, particularly from my base in Nigeria. With over ten years of experience in AML/KYC across various sectors, including telecoms and crypto exchanges, I have a solid background. My experience includes high-volume KYC verification at Airtel Mobile Nigeria, where I adhered to NCC and FATF standards, and extensive work at TerraCex cryptocurrency exchange, where I processed over 40,000 verifications in a week. I've also worked in compliance operations at YezCoin Foundation in the UK and remote community operations at Solana Foundation in Singapore. I hold a BSc in Criminology and Security Studies and plan to pursue CAMS certification next. For the past few months, I've been actively applying for remote positions across the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, and the EU, receiving some responses but no offers yet. I'm not frustrated with the job market; rather, I'm looking for genuine insights from others who have successfully navigated similar situations. I'm curious about effective job boards beyond LinkedIn and Indeed, the impact of direct outreach to hiring managers versus traditional applications, and any strategies that helped others overcome location biases when applying from Africa. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
