  I'm a remote contractor, and my policy is to essentially work my clients time zone. Right now I'm 11am-7pm (I'm in NZ, they're mostly in Sydney, Australia). For a while my team was all in Malaysia, so I did 2pm-10pm. Hell for the right contract I'd work as far east as texas, mon-fri 10am-6pm for them, tues-sat 5am-1pm for me. No one asks me to do this, but it just makes life easier, and clients like knowing that I'm working normal hours and will pick up the phone.

    How do you get work in such diverse places?

      I'm in a pretty small niche (agtech), which I think definitely helps me standout from other devs.
