It is difficult, we barely managed and we got used to forgetting about our quality of life. Many people have migrated but we do not give up. There are small opportunities, and I like to have a level of difficulty to improve my skills. Here you can survive with $400 - $500.

oh you can find updated information in english in this web caracaschronicles.com/
I know there are articles in other newspapers, like the washingtonpost newyorktimes and others.

I'm sure you thought about it but what about trying to find a remote job? This way you can maybe improve your quality of life a bit and still staying in Venezuela in the meantime. It's not going to be easy to find one, but maybe it's worth it to give it a try. If I'm not mistaken you're also more or less on the same timezone as eastern US, so maybe you can find a remote company based there with which you can collaborate with on the same office time.

Good luck Gregor!

Yes, that exactly. My other 2 jobs are remote. In fact it has become very popular to hire outsourcing from Venezuela. They usually pay from 100 to 200, cheap labor depending on the technology. For now I take my vacation to study more, next year I will change to a better job.

Thank you for worry. There is always a solution
