Not my experience in over a decade but I'm looking strictly for remote and don't bother with hybrid/onsite.


Mind sharing how you approach this?


Currently I'm happy with what I found on HN's Who's Hiring [1] post.

Just responding only to open positions mentionning remote work or stating that you want remote only to the thousands of head hunters in linkedin is enough.


What if no headhunters in your area have jobs that offer remote work?


What does "in your area" really mean when looking for remote work?

Are you referring to speciality or geographic area? For some specialities, if the specialty doesn't have remote work (say it's robotics or biotech or something else with a heavy lab component), you might be out of luck. If it's geographic, well, find headhunters in another geography.


>What does "in your area" really mean when looking for remote work?

Due to employment, tax and labor laws in my country, remote work still has to be done for a company that has a presence in my country. I can't have an employment contract with a company not based here, only B-2-B.

So remote basically limits me to local companies, which don't usually offer 100% remote work posibilities.


you can but you need to setup your own company and work as a contractor.


That's what B-2-B is, which is what I said. And it sucks because then you loose the employment perks of being an employee: sick leave, parental leve, included healthcare, paid time off, etc.


You can negociate some of those in the term of your b2b contract. And in the case of healthcare, the company supposedly doesn't have to pay for it so they can pay that additionnal amount to you directly.


Find better headhunters. They do work on commission


Whenever I ask them about remote companies they all say they don't have such customers, they all want people in the office.
