Nice work. What is the source for these jobs? And do you scrape the sites or use APIs provided by the sources (if they do). Just curious. Thanks!

If you are looking to use this site to look for jobs, I have to chip in and say it was not at all satisfactory. - Using their search to look for only remote jobs found all sorts of jobs always, and their filter never worked properly. - More

Great comment. I think I have similar goals - work on a job for about 4 hours a day so that I can do what the rest of the time. I have 2 questions: 1. Did you get the 4-hr job after a history of working full-time for the company? Or are the

I say "I am currently at X now, and I am looking for Y% more" and the recruiter/company says "done". If you consider that negotiation, yes I am negotiating. According to other people on here (including patio11) its

If the $15K is guaranteed when you hold out for 1 more day, sure. If not, its like any other trade-off between your mental peace and more effort.

From a fellow vegan/vegetarian, big hug ! I don't get emotional much, but animals always make me tear up - just seeing them joyfully playing or giving companionship to a human. Sometimes it all seems hopeless, but enough of that

At no point did I want or expect that. I dont expect my causes to be taken up by anybody else. I can also give justifications for ignoring issues that are important to you or anybody else. Doesn't really serve any purpose.
