- maury91 4y agoNot all the jobs are fully location independent, for example the ones with "HelpScout" when you read the section "About the role" near the end is written: > At this time, we are only able to hire in the following: United States, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom. I believe this information should be presented near the top so as a consumer of the product I can skip reading a long description just to know that I cannot apply
- jakub_g 4y agoSee also https://github.com/gi11es/equal-pay-for-equal-work https://github.com/gi11es/equal-pay-for-equal-work (seems there's a big overlap)
- swatcoder 4y agoGreat criteria to filter jobs over, but minimally useful for candidates when it only captures a couple dozen jobs from a handful of companies. And the price for being able to post new listings seems high for it probably not having many candidates (on account of the few listings, and it being a narrow niche). Good luck to whoever is trying to make this work, but this kind of thing is a notoriously hard business problem.
- onionisafruit 4y agoIt also seems like if this gets traction it can be undermined quickly by Indeed or LinkedIn offering a “geography-independent pay” filter.
- dewey 4y agoAnd yet, despite this being a "feature" one of the big ones could adopt some people running job boards make a decent amount of money: https://remoteok.com/open https://remoteok.com/open
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am the creator of Remotewide, and this was one of my initial thoughts against building this, but then again, I found some other websites also focused on super-niche like 4dayweek.io - this can also be introduced as a filter on remoteok or any other leading job board, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to try :)
- steve_adams_86 4y agoSomeone I know created a 4 day work week job board. I think it was this one: https://30hourjobs.com/ https://30hourjobs.com/ There are definitely several takes on it. I say what the hell, if you can do something well, why not try
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am the creator of Remotewide, thanks a lot for your feedback! I made the price 999$/yr after thoroughly looking into all other job boards, and I see that most of them offer around 150$ - 200$ per job post, so I think that 999 / 12 = 83$ / month for unlimited job posts makes it cheaper? Do you have any other advice how I could improve this for candidates and companies? Thank you a ton!
- kkfx 4y agoBeware of a thing: location independent pay inside national borders is a good thing for Citizens and the nation in general, beyond borders is a good things ONLY for big corps and the most poor, so a bad thing for us westerns. Just imaging how can be the paycheck if the market is the entire world: seeing actual paychecks that means beside very little, very demanding in skills jobs where it's next to impossible find workers from some cheaper countries because due to their schools systems they can't form skilled enough people 98% of other remote works will clearly be interesting only for those from very poor countries were a very little salary is a high one in their own country. For big corps of course that's perfectly nice: a call center operator from Turkmenistan enough fluent in some westerns languages is equally good than a local one, his/shes cost of living makes a salary of 150 USA/EUR very interesting, connections are starting to be good enough not to have problems, so... Remember that actual neoliberal-driven IT is built around the concept of Ford's model stereotypical workers, so real quality does not count much in actual systems. I'm deeply in favor of WFH as much as possible, to do anything can be done remotely from remote because TLCs are there anyway and so that's can and should mean efficient and cheap (even if often due do bad IT choices is the contrary), but remember that we can't have equal cost of living anywhere: if we live at "polar" latitudes we need heating, a big expense, if we live at "tropical" latitudes we need cooling which can be a significant expensive (since it can be mitigated by p.v., just during the day), if we live in not-much-fertile or too dense area foods costs are higher, if we are far from industry goods costs more, but other things cost less etc. Even in an hypothetical "fair, ethical and just global world" we can't see equal costs everywhere, so we need different prices and different wages and different social systems. Ignoring this means push even more the inequality accelerators against workers interests.
- kif 4y agoNot sure if you're arguing for, or against same pay regardless of location... My opinion is that, if a company pays my US peers $200k, I expect to be paid the same. I can't force this opinion on others, but what I can do is refuse to work for companies that don't follow this rule.

- sydthrowaway 4y agoMissing Oxide Computer
- onionisafruit 4y agoThat’s just because Oxide hasn’t paid to post their jobs there.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am the creator of Remotewide, I will gladly add you to the site for free, no one has paid yet anyway
- ajb 4y agoOxide requires you to work close to California time. Otherwise I'd probably apply :-)
- sydthrowaway 4y agoHow about europe?
- ajb 4y agoHow about what in Europe? Not sure what you're asking.
- happyopossum 4y agoIf this is truly location independent - in other words Global, then how is this any different from the offshoring or outsourcing that’s been the bane of western tech employees for the last 2 decades?
- idiotsecant 4y agoThe double edged sword of remote work.
- ornornor 4y agoHave you ever tried working with offshored teams? The quality doesn’t even come close.
- Daishiman 4y agoNot with the ones making US coastal city incomes around the world, which is what this is about.
- MaximumYComb 4y agoI recently had a recruiter make a mistake with what city I live in and she organised an interview for me with a team based 800km away. I did so well in the interview that the team is making a single remote position for me. The company does have an office here I can work from when I don't want to WFH. When the pay is right, I agree that remote employees don't have to be bottom of the barrel.
- EMM_386 4y ago> how is this any different from the offshoring or outsourcing There really is none, and what people are failing to realize is that if a SF-based company was paying you $300k, and the market rate for the same level of skill in North Dakota is $100k, there is nothing stopping them from hiring a lot of ND based developers and slowly winding down SF-based devs. It won't be a "we're firing you because you are making SF-based pay", it will be for other reasons that don't directly link the two, until the entire work force is paid less. Next, you can swap out North Dakota pay for pay in other countries, and you can see where this is going. Developers will claim the "off-shore" talent is sub-par, but eventually this becomes a level playing field, with highly many skilled developers spread across the globe. Then what?
- rendall 4y agoHey really cool, Antonio. Excellent work! I wonder if adding timezones, possible languages might be helpful for both sides? You get an A+ for being a net positive!
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoThank you a lot! Added timezones and languages to my Trello list!
- citruscomputing 4y ago0 results for "Junior"... neat project though! The theme switcher is slick.
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am the creator of Remotewide, it could be possible that I've labeled some jobs incorrectly myself, so make sure to visit the /companies page and search a bit yourself, maybe there is something useful! Thanks for checking out the page!
- wackget 4y agoI type a keyword into the search field and it does absolutely nothing. Tried hitting return, clicking the search icon, etc... nada. Using Brave desktop FWIW. Edit: tried vanilla Chromium and it's a completely blank page. Edit 2: tried vanilla Chrome. Page loads but again nothing happens when I try to filter/search by keyword. Very frustrating/disappointing.
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am very sorry that you had an unpleasant experience, as of the moment the Search is only used for pre-existing tags like "React" "Frontend" "Backend" etc. Here is an example https://i.imgur.com/MUrykgr.png https://i.imgur.com/MUrykgr.png
- rossdavidh 4y agoWhen I try using "Python" (one of the pre-existing tags listed), I similarly don't see anything happening.
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoJust figured it out. I added scroll & listings preserverance in my last commit and it seemed to mess up the search. Fix is deployed, will probably propagate in the next 15 minutes. Thank you so much for reporting!
- wackget 4y agoYes the keywords I tried were all valid tags. I see you pushed a fix but it's still not working at the moment; will try again soon. Is there a URL-hackable way to link to searches e.g. `remotewide.co/react`?
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoWill implement that this week for all of the pre-existing skills!
- formerkrogemp 4y agoAny idea if they'll ever support sales/accounting?
- erdeljacantonio 4y agoHi, I am the creator of Remotewide, I am currently going over 25 companies I have on my list that offer location independent pay, and I am sure some of them have sales/accounting in them. Will probably come this week.
- formerkrogemp 4y agoHey, thanks for the site. I appreciate your reply. I'll be looking forward to it. Cheers.
- adalu 4y agoThis and 4dayweek seem to use the same software, correct?
