Remote Jobs, but WHERE?

Posted by ebbflowgo on Sunday February 01, 2015 @01:15PM
from the self-post dept.

In the spirit of monthly job postings, I've scraped the jobs off We Work Remotely and showcased them on a map.

Even though remote jobs can be done anywhere, my expectation is that working full-time at a company based out of Italy is culturally different than one based in New York.

Has location (i.e. culture) influenced your remote job experience? (workflow, travel, promotions)?

I have a few consulting clients and employers listed by country at http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/telecommute/

While I've been successful with purely remote contracts, in which I never once met the clients, I far prefer clients that I can visit from time to time. It's kind of nice to show up in person with a deliverable.

Not related to location, but still noteworthy: If you're not going to be part of a team, it's always going to be weird because the culture of the brick and mortar office will be so entrenched in everyone who works there. On the other hand, if you really want to do well - then try to integrate into the team and not be an 'outsider', or feel the need to brand yourself as 'the remoter'

absolutely, I agree that even though the job may be remote, physical location is still important to take into consideration.

Thanks for the map!!
