I often hear of people in work from home opportunities but I find them so rare to come across. What sites / resources do you use to find remote work opportunities? Which companies still do work from home?
Also please list the country the jobs are out of if you can.
I work in office, but i also get to wfh when I’m sick, having an off day, or have an appointment mid day.
I’m a Substation Designer, working with CAD. Any jobs that use CAD are going to have more at-home opportunities.
I’m a software engineer, and WFH seems pretty common now in my industry. USA.
Same here in Europe.
Europe is too diverse to actually say that. For example, in Italy WFH is now a rarity again
I think a lot of it depends on the company as well.
Yep. A few of the big boys are pushing for hybrid but I think the great majority will never be full time in the office again.
I’m an in-house graphic designer at a market research agency in The Netherlands. I wfh for 3 of the 4 days a week that I work.
Here in Germany many programming jobs, maybe even most, offer WFH these days. Sometimes you need to be in the office for 1 or 2 days a week, but often it’s fully remote. I work at a software development agency in a large city, but live in a village about 2.5 hours away. Haven’t been to the office for like 2 years.
US, engineering of the mechanical and aerospace variety, I work from home 2-4 days per week. Prior to COVID, this was a 5 days/week on-site job.
My company did make a push in December to get people to come back to the office more. It didn’t work. December was a really dumb time to try, with kids getting out of school and the holidays. We’ll see if they try again in the new year.
I’ve had two work from home positions - one basically a call center position, the other was an admin clerk job. I got both through what is effectively a recruitment agency.
I work in IT (Database Administrator) and have been mostly remote since COVID. USA.
I used Remote Rocketship to find a remote job. It’s pretty decent.
I’m a bit of an outlier as I’ve been WFH since 2001 as a software developer in the UK. The first company was new when I joined and we decided not to have offices, the second knew it was part of the deal. To put things into perspective, I was on dialup for the first year. First DSL was .5 megabit, which was about 10x faster.
A lot of tech jobs (developers, sysads, etc.) that only require a laptop to work have fully remote opportunities. Jobsites like linkedin show if a position is full-time, remote, or hybrid. I haven’t tried, but you can probably add a filter to the search function to only pull up remote jobs. Your best bet IMO is a laptop-based job on a global company, because a more scattered workforce means less chances of gathering together and more opportunity to push for wfh.
