Do you have any advice on how to get that sort of position? I'm a Romanian guy who just graduated (Automatica si Calculatoare), I've done several internships at big companies (Microsoft, Google) and I'm sure I can get full time offers at top tech companies in the US or London. Still, I tried to apply for remote positions and nobody even looks at me. Any tips?
- ThrowCatchElse 10y agoI got here because I spent several years doing non-paid work on a very popular open-source project (writing code, but also spending a lot of time answering questions on the mailing list, on the support forums and on StackOverflow). Eventually I got a reputation as a good dev and I started getting job offers, some of which were remote. * I guess my point is that you have to give them a reason to look at you, even if it's just "Hey, I remember that guy/girl from that blog/mailing list/conference. They seem decent." ____ * Most of that activity was driven by enthusiasm. I'm not sure I'd have the determination to invest that much time into an activity just as a career move.
