Why don't Romanians just get remote jobs?
- alexbanks 10y agoDo you believe it to be that easy to get a remote job, such that all Romanians can simply just "get" one?

- elbear 10y agoIt's not easy, but you can do it. Source: I'm Romanian and I work remotely. I found the job here in the monthly Who's Hiring thread.
- alexbanks 10y agoMy point was not "Romanians can't get remote jobs," but rather "It's not so easy to get remote jobs that all Romanians can simply get a remote job."
- elbear 10y agoIt's as easy or as difficult as getting any other programming job. The more you know your stuff and good English, the better the job you'll find.
- antisthenes 10y agoWhy isn't everyone just born a rich programmer, so we can finally eliminate that pesky poverty and start enjoy the libertarian utopia?
- tedmiston 10y agoI've noticed many of the dev marketplaces (even the more expensive ones) are dominated by international developers. It's definitely a popular path.
- radicalbyte 10y agoThey come to Western Europe :) Last year I hired two Romanian developers here in The Netherlands, both were very good.
- GFischer 10y agoThere's a lot of friction for both buying remote work and selling. It has to be really worth the other party's time. Not everyone can be a freelancer, that's one of the points behind the theory of the firm. Technological advances can and have shifted the % of freelancers, but I doubt it will ever be near 100%. I say that as both having been a freelancer, currently working semi-remote, and hiring freelancers (both locally and from India and Pakistan).
