Re: List of places to find remote jobs and freelancing projects
#52This was a big problem I faced as a remote freelancer looking for 100% remote front-end work. Yes, there's a lot of remote work out there, but it's so spread out on various sources that you end up having to spend time every single day reading the listings in depth because many times there are constraints. For example it's limited to candidates in the USA, or it's remote but you have to live in London, or it does have…
finding front end only work is problematic? try looking for systems programming work. most of these sites don't have have categories for any kind of software development - the closest you can get is DevOps/SRE or 'full stack'.
Try looking for ANY legitimate role that's not programming or development oriented. Your pool rapidly approaches nil. I'm in information security and I quite enjoy it, but I would kill for a remote info sec job chance that many programmers have.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've been working from home for twelve years now. I didn't set out to WFH, I stumbled into it. Here's what worked for me, it might work for you: I was contacted by a recruiter. They wanted to hire me, but the job was 5000km away and I didn't want to move. I politely declined the offer. Ten minutes later, they call back, and offer to let me do it remotely. I worked there for six years. The thing that I've found, is th…
this particular employer was interested in filling a role that required a skillset that was very unusual So, first, it helps to have unusual skills they need. I'm not trying to be snarky. People tend to have blind spots about their own value position and often focus on some detail of negotiating that feels like a big deal to them and end up somewhat glossing over the fundamental value position that caused them to be…
You’re right, I think its that we all want to see a tight cause effect loop in our success, but reality is more like the reason I’m successful in my career is a single blog post I randomly found ten years ago which sent me off in an experimental direction that later became my niche and then, unforeseeable to anyone, least of all me, that niche became suddenly in demand. Five years from now it may disappear just as suddenly. But the reality is a little unsettling to we attribute success to something we can control.

We all prefer to feel like we have control over our lives. People also like to take personal credit for their success rather than chalking it up to luck or circumstance.
This often leads to bad advice.
When I had a corporate job, one of my coworkers with a lavish lifestyle was giving a lot of financial advice to another coworker with chronic financial stress. It wasn't necessarily bad advice per se. But it kind of glossed over the fact that the one with money was childless and her husband made scads of money. The other woman had four children and an ordinary Joe of a husband.
I always felt the advice should have started with "First, go back in time and marry well. Second, go back in time and don't have four kids."
It's vastly easier to do things like pay off your credit cards in full every month and only pay cash for a new car when you have lots more income and fewer obligations. These were the sorts of things she bragged about as if she were some financial genius, glossing over the huge income difference that allowed her to implement these ever so wise financial choices.

If there's a job you find interesting, you can always ask the recruiter if remote is an option (even if it's not explicitly listed). Most companies are on some sort of chat system, so making it work and is becoming less and less of an issue. Most places will flat out say no, but every once in a while a recruiter responds "let me check" and there's your opening.. I've written up details on how to do this in a couple o…
This is right on the money. I think the 'trick' to getting a satisfying remote position is to use WFH as a bargaining chip. For instance, I was living in Seattle and I wanted to live in Portland, where it's more affordable. When I started WFH, I traded a pay cut for the opportunity to WFH. It all worked out; my place in Oregon was about 70% as expensive as what I would've paid to live in Seattle. It was a win-win; th…
its also a win for them too in that they dont need to provide office space for you

Bug bounties are remote. Probably more of a second job.

#57Just clicked on https://www.remotezoo.com/ from the list and received the message (in Chrome) This server could not prove that it is www.remotezoo.com; its security certificate expired 4 days ago.
My advice, click away. Chances are you will get sent valid html from the site you requested from.

#58Is it possible to get a HTML or plaintext version for people who don't just run any non-free JS[1]? [1]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
would you be willing to pay for a proxy service that took a url that used non-free JS and rendered it to pure dom that you could then view without JS ? any sense of whether other people that care about such things would be willing to pay ?
These questions don’t work.

#60Meta: I personally found the published version very unfriendly to my eyes, so I chose to generate a download link for OP's spreadsheet. This is a direct link to download the spreadsheet : https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/...
This is cool. Thank you for this
