Scratch that! Those platforms are useless even for freelancers.
Best advice that worked for me is to apply for any job and during the interview process you just say that you will work remote and come to the office once per XX amount of days.
- gedrap 9y agoOut of curiosity, what percent of companies just outright refused to consider remote work? And of those that considered you, how many had no remote engineers or didn't really have the processes in place to support remote work? Because, I think, working remotely it's not just something that you, as an organization, do. Getting it right, in my experience, requires active effort.
- justadeveloper2 9y agoWhat I have seen is that devs start fulltime at the office and as they gain experience at the company and the trust level builds, then they start working remotely a couple days a week. Some people become indispensible and then want to move and the company will cut a 100% remote deal in order to retain their services. This is really the only way I have seen it work out such that the person maintains any kind of job security.
