Ask HN: Where do you look for remote jobs?
For those of you who have searched for remote developer jobs recently, what sites do you check?
My assumption is that most people will check Indeed since they've got the most listings these days, and since they offer free listings, they tend to have a lot that aren't found elsewhere. But I want to check that assumption. Perhaps those who are already employed but just looking to see if something else is out there has different criteria. Maybe there are other sites you stick with because you figure the employers are better there. Or does anyone prefer to work with recruiters over applying to jobs directly? (That one's hard for me to understand myself, but you must be out there!)
PS: If you're curious about our opening or want to critique the posting, you can find it by searching 'AutoTempest' on Indeed.

I have never used Indeed in my life, but that may be more personal preference as I find job reqs there to be boring, underpaid, and not what I'm actually looking for.
I'm actually thinking of creating a SaaS from it and looking for users to interview. Ping me :)
There's an interesting Social Proof aspect to these job boards. As an applicant, if the Hiring Executive is a fellow alumnus -- he must be a good guy. :)

This is still work in progress but does include tons of remote jobs.
I have actually had my best luck right here on HN! The monthly jobs posts are great.
They've gotten far better since last time I used them though, likely forced by the pandemic. But yeah, that negative perception obviously still exists for some.
Too bad it's mid month - I doubt the March hiring post here is still getting many views. Will give it a try though, and definitely post on the April one too.
