Where do you guys find remote work?

I’ve had two remote jobs as a developer so far. I got the first one through a close friend and the second through a coworker from the first. The second job asked us to relocate and come into the office after a year so I quit. I’ve been living off savings overseas for the last year now with no job.

I understand networking is very important but I don’t seem to have any good connections at the moment. I do get messages from recruiters on linkedin as well as job boards like Dice, but many of these are for roles beyond my experience level or hybrid/in-office

MaungaHikoi,

Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There’s a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can’t remember what it is.

cellador,

The job boards are nice but I feel the remote-only boards are still super niche. I’ve had more success with a plain Google query that limits its results to some HR SaaS tool.

For example: “Javascript remote site:jobvite.com” then filter for last 7 days.

Of course that moves the goalpost to knowing which domains are a good fit. But that’s super dependent on your region and of course not all platforms follow this url pattern.

Incoming job board spam:

  • dailyremote.com
  • flexjobs.com
  • remote.co
  • remotive.com
  • virtualvocations.com

… just to name a few

  • odium,

    I know that a lot of banks and insurance companies offer remote work, both for internships and full time.

    alr,

    I got news for you. If you’re not a citizen of the country you’re located in and you don’t have a work visa for that country, you’re probably working illegally, whether or not your employer realizes. (Some exceptions for EU citizens, Canada, etc.)

    manapropos,

    Thanks. I’m on weworkremotely but I’ll check out the other ones
