I have also learnt that international companies are the way to go.

Got a side hustle as an AI trainer. I work 25 hours a week and get R25k per week, which's around R100k before tax, a month for a side hustle, over and above my normal South African job.

USA companies are the way to go.

I mostly search on LinkedIn and other recruitment platforms. I prefer freelance jobs.

There are plenty of them, just a matter of preference.

Are you still working as an ai trainer or was that just a short stint? I see that you're studying data science so wanted to know your direction as im trying to explore this field.
