Do you have any tips or anecdotes on finding remote US work as a Canadian?
- Waterluvian 8y agoWish I did. I think it helped that I have a very unique skillset: web dev + robotics + GIS. So when I reach out I generally get quite a bit of excitement in return.
- eloff 8y agoThere's remote job boards like https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/, you can filter by remote on stackoverflow, and search remote in the monthly HN who's hiring thread. Remote work is not for everyone, and you have to be self-motivated and disciplined. It can be a lot harder to get work-life separation. Other than that it's no different than looking for any other kind of job, you want a strong resume and to practice the coding interview and assignments. But stay away from companies that have a Canadian presence, they often have a Canadian HR department that sets Canadian level salary guides. If you do interview with a company like that, be clear up front that you're looking for a US level salary, not a Canadian one.
