weworkremotely.com (run by the 37signals/Basecamp folks) and jobs.joelonsoftware.com (shortcut to Stackoverflow jobs) are two sources of remote job listings. I am sure there are more -- these are just two with which I happen to be familiar. I have also found that both of these sites have a fairly high quality of job listings.
Another approach to consider is seeking freelance work. You may be able to find work porting .NET applications to node.js which would allow you to leverage you current skill set to learn a new one. The challenge with this approach is that freelance rates can be pretty cut throat. Therefore, it would likely best to view these types of jobs as an opportunity to build experience/portfolio more than money making.
- tzaman 12y agoWe hired two developers through WeWorkRemotely (gotten about 100 applicants), and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.
- warp 12y agoI got hired through WeWorkRemotely fairly recently, I didn't know the competition could be that fierce! :)
- fecak 12y agoCompetition for remote work is fierce, and is only going to get more fierce for as long as it remains rare. For most people that are applying for remote work, they are applying not because of the work itself or a strong belief in the company. Their #1 search criterion is for remote work and all other details are probably a somewhat distant second, and until remote jobs are more available you will find it a competitive market.

- collyw 12y agoThey would get a whole lot more productivity out of me. Not being asked to fix users excel errors and being bugged every 5 minutes. (I know this is true, as the organization was a lot smaller 3 years ago when I started, and for the first year I was incredibly productive).
- mrfusion 12y agoDo you think the remote full time employee model makes sense, or is it better to switch to something like freelancing for remote employees?
