💵 Breaking the global pay barrier | Destination Tunisia OoO with Yahya Miled

Hey, Welcome Back!

Are you accidentally earning LESS than you deserve?

If you’re stuck in a job where the paycheck barely covers your basics, the issue isn’t your skills…it’s the global pay barrier.

Where you live shouldn’t dictate what you earn, but for millions of talented professionals outside the US - it does.

The result is a maddening cycle of working harder, earning less, and feeling like real financial independence is forever out of reach.

💰 Local earnings = local career limitations.

But what if your paycheck wasn’t tied to your country’s economy, but to your authentic value as a skilled pro in the global job market?

You could break the oppressive system.

Just ask Yahya Miled, an L1 Customer Support Agent from Tunisia who cracked the code on global pay.

He went from getting scammed in local jobs to earning 8X more than before.

Just wow!

This week, I’m in spicy Manouba, Tunisia, on a mission: to track down one of the few remote workers living there to uncover his secret escape plan. How did he dodge the local job market trap and land a titanic career at Trilogy - without moving an inch?

Spoiler alert: It wasn’t luck. It was strategy, guts, and a life-changing Google search.

Yahya didn’t start life with a silver spoon in his mouth.

His first jobs paid pennies, and when he finally landed a remote role, he still wasn’t making anywhere near enough.

Then, one day, he stumbled upon a job listing that seemed too good to be true - a fully remote role paying 4X what he previously earned.

🚩 His first thought? “This has to be a scam.”

🏁 His second thought? “I have nothing to lose.”

The decision to apply changed everything. Now, Yahya owns his home, drives a new car, and has achieved total financial independence - all before turning 27.

But most people never even take the shot.

Why? Because they’re stuck believing three big lies:

❌ Remote jobs don’t pay that much (They do – if you know where to look!)
❌ I don’t have the right skills (If you can solve problems, you can get hired)
❌ If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. (Sometimes, it’s just true.)

Unlike most other young Tunisians, Yahya didn’t let fear hold him back. Instead, he went all in - and it paid off BIG time.

Here’s how he did it:

⭐ He stopped assuming high salaries were out of reach (and went after them!)
⭐ He embraced AI-first roles (making his job easier and his paycheck bigger)
⭐ He chose a company with transparent pay (no guesswork, no negotiations)

Now, he’s earning 8X more than before, working a job that actually excites him, and proving that location should never limit your paycheck.

In this episode, I chat to Yahya about his journey from local remote to global remote roles - and the unexpected twists, bold moves, and AI hacks that got him there.

If Yahya had ignored that fateful job listing, he’d still be underpaid, overworked, and wondering if there was a better way. Instead, he took the risk - and unlocked a career that lets him live life on his own terms.

The real question is: What’s stopping you?

🎬 This Week on Episode 80:

• The Global Pay Trap: Why most remote workers settle for WAY less
• Taking Risks: When remote pay sounds too good to be true (but isn’t)
• AI in Customer Support: A job killer or a career accelerator?
• Career Boost: How Yahya 8X’d his pay without moving abroad
• Yahya’s Tips: The #1 mindset shift that unlocks higher pay

Yahya’s entire life changed because of one Google search. If that doesn’t make you rethink your career moves, I don’t know what will.

The highest-paying remote jobs are out there – but it’s still YOU that has to take the first step.

If your salary is stuck in local mode, it’s time to switch to global settings. Yahya did it, and so can you.

🌟 Enjoy!
