3 points by user321 11y ago

Hello, i'm looking for a remote position on Linux or Windows. Is it possible to find a work from home in this field? Thanks.

Your question is rather poor on data: it essentially says "I'm looking for work" and nothing else. What are your skills? What sort of work are you looking for? Etc.

This sounds remarkably similar to another recent Ask HN on remote C++ work. In any case, a good bet is to refer to the monthly "Who's Hiring" / "Who's looking for work" threads?

  Yes, there are many positions on who's hiring / who's looking for work threads, but i am looking for a work from home.

    There's actually strict recommendations on the status of "remote" versus "onsite" for these postings. Please look and then just ctrl-F "remote".

From the FAQ: "A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month. Most job ads are welcome there." Some will accept remote workers. There's also a Freelancer thread. The November threads, for reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10492086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10492086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10492087 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10492087

  Why not work from home thread?

    You just have to search for "Remote" in that thread.

      I think a distinction between remote and work from home it's necessary.

        Work from home is remote work. Unless you're talking about "get rich working at home, you made $3500 this week in 2 hours" type of working at home.

Yes, there is a plenty of roles like that. I guess all depends on the role you are going to play in a company. Most of the time you will have to be on site for initial 1-3 months then you probably will have a green light for home work at least a few times a week. This is also a part of negotiation.
