In a similar vein, do any non-devs here work remote? A lot of companies where I’ve seen remote work allowed, only (explicitly) allow it for software engineering roles. And any other postings from the company will specify a particular office location. I’ve been allowed to work remote in my current company, but only as a quirk of the org structure here and getting lumped in with the dev team. I do more of business operations and analytics work that usually doesn’t report up through engineering, and trying to find a new job that allows remote work has been painful.

any non-devs here work remote? I work remotely, but it is with an online writing service, plus as a blogger who gets a smidgeon of Patreon money and as someone who does resume work and advertises it myself. I don't have a remote "job" per se. I worked for a time at Aflac. While I was there, they were trying out remote positions within the claims department (where I worked). I am also trying to create a support system for digital workers, including but not limited to remote workers. This is the current page of remote job boards and what limited stuff I have for that area: http://independentdigitalworkers.blogspot.com/p/remote.html http://independentdigitalworkers.blogspot.com/p/remote.html

My current company has some people in customer service and business development who work remotely. Some of that is related to the work (customer service especially) not requiring much collaboration with the in-office team, and long-time employees who moved out of town arranging to remain employed remotely. The rest is the fact that the business development folks are more effective if they're already located in and have networks in and a finger on the pulse of the specific geographic markets they're targeting. That said, the business development job postings do specify markets where we expect the candidate to be located, just not the same one where our central office is located. We also employ contractors in a few departments who work remotely.

  That seems to be consistent with what I’ve seen. Thanks for another data point confirming that. :)

Monzo have a lot of their support team working remotely, especially useful for them as they offer 24hr support so the shifts often vary.

I see a lot of customer support / customer success jobs on the remote boards. It makes sense given that can be email, chat, or phone from anywhere. Also, it helps companies spread across time zones. I can't recall analytics jobs but try some of the normal sites and see what you can find. - https://www.wfh.io/ https://www.wfh.io/ - https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/ - https://remoteok.io/ https://remoteok.io/ - https://angel.co/ https://angel.co/ - https://authenticjobs.com/ https://authenticjobs.com/ - https://whereverjobs.com/ https://whereverjobs.com/ Also this: https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job
