Which job sites are people using for remote jobs?


I’m looking at finding my next software engineering position. I’m based in U.K. but don’t want to be restricted to just U.K. companies so I’m looking for remote positions too. There seems to be a ton of job sites out there now, does any one have any recommendations for which ones are worth the time signing up for?

Take advantage of the fact that, right now, all (software engineering) jobs are remote, for (pretty much) all companies. Even when the pandemic is over, many companies will keep the remote model as they had the chance to see its advantages -- or at the very least they will be open to be flexible when hiring remote engineers.

In other words, keep applying using the traditional methods (LinkedIn, standard job sites), and during interviews try to explore what are the company's long-term views on remote work.

A few I've recently looked at:

https://www.workatastartup.com/

https://www.remote.io/

https://www.jobfluent.com/

Any ideas on how to start as a freelance besides the usual suspects? sorry for the hijack of the thread

RemoteOk developed by Pieter Levels: https://remoteok.io

His blog https://levels.io is interesting in itself.

Google Jobs has a pretty good search interface. It seems to get a lot of the postings, but not stuff from smaller/non-job-board sites like this. I think the who's hiring thread has links to searchable postings from this site. Unfortunately, they aren't very useful for me since most of the postings are for seniors.

I let recruiters do the work.

The insight is that I make their job easier by having the right resources and presentation in place.

I found my part-time remote on Dice.com in 2017. The company was (still) in South Carolina. I'm in Florida

For my full-time position remote I'm in now I used indeed.com. This company is based in NY, NY.
