I'm facing an unexpected family emergency and need to spend an extended period in Southeast Asia. This means adjusting to a very different time zone from what I'm used to in Los Angeles. I have over 10 years of experience in systems administration and various roles like NOC, network engineering, and project management. Besides freelance gigs, what type of remote Sysadmin jobs should I consider while I'm here?

With your extensive experience, why not start your own business? You could offer services remotely and in person when needed. You’ve got the skills to set up a NOC, SOC, or consult on projects. Plus, if you find something you're not familiar with, you could hire someone or contract out to learn as you go. Just check the local requirements about taxes and starting a business over there!
Have you thought about whether you could work for a local company while you're in Southeast Asia? They might value having someone from the US who understands the client base well. But be careful—landing a remote job with a US company from there could be tricky unless it's aligned with their time zone. Good luck with everything!
I think the job market can be tough right now; you're up against a lot of competition, especially from places like India and the Philippines. Your best bet might be to reconnect with previous employers or clients. If nothing else, you may need to consider alternative career options for your time there.
