Ask HN: How to find remote work in London or SF

4 points by iaan 12y ago

I am wondering, since there are lots of companies hiring daily in London, San Francisco or NY why almost nobody wants to talk with remote devs? I've got quite good experience with front end development & ruby on rails yet I have problems finding some good remote / freelance contracts.

If you can stand a little self-promotion: Careers 2.0 has a nice way to search for these jobs. For instance, within 60 miles of London: http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?location=London&range=60&distanceUnits=Miles&allowsremote=true http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?location=London&range=...

The brutal truth is that most of those companies are startups with a little funding and the founders have been told that hiring people that will only work 40 hours a week is a sure fire way to fail.

  But from the job offers it looks like they pay quite well.

    $120,000 / 2080 = $57.70 per hour $120,000 / 2600 = $46.15 per hour, which is about the same as you would pay someone making $95,000 a year.
