I find that remote jobs are infinitely more competitive than local jobs when it comes to landing interviews or even getting responses.

I understand that though. When working remotely you're asking a company to take a lot more on faith, especially early in your employment with them.

Why should that be?

You can set up light process/habits to keep track of one's doing on a daily basis. Like a short sum up at the end of the day to keep track of what your fellow developers did and will do.

Been a few years working remotely, no one ever had problem with me and never had problem with anyone. Or if there was, it was detected fast.

I've worked remotely at a few jobs. I think if you can't be trusted or aren't getting your work done because of at home distractions, then it's super obvious.

Exactly.

That's not the only reason. When you're applying for a remote job you're not competing only with the local talent, but quite often with the applicants from all over the world, which of course makes landing the job more challenging.

And this totally makes sense. There is maybe 10 companies hiring in my area, but it's a small city, so there won't be thousands of developers to pick from. Make that global, and there will be 10000 companies to apply to, and that much people to compete against. It goes both ways - more people apply, but you have much more opportunities as well.

couldn't agree more! The another challenge is not all "remote" jobs are 100% remote. Either they are remote within specific country/region or remote only few days a week.

I've applied to a few remote jobs but didn't make it past the code exam phase. Those exams are ridiculous. So far for me, it's easier to just find freelance work than waste my time studying for tests that don't test my actual ability.

How do you find your first freelance work while someone has worked for full-time through his career? Any tips?

I've gotten all my work one of two ways:

  1. Word of mouth.
  2. A freelance agency (in my case Creative Circle here in LA).

How to get freelance gigs is a huge topic not really suited for a comment but I'll try.

Getting your first legit gig is probably the hardest. For me, one of my teachers saw a work ethic in me and trusted me with a gig. Did i get paid well for that? No not really but the work kept coming after that because i followed these two rules:

  1. Be a good person. Having a positive attitude makes for a great experience for both you and the client. Also, be mindful that the client doesn't know what you know. Their ideas may seem silly to you, the expert, but its your job to educate them...nicely.
  2. Do good work. Simple. Every job is a portfolio piece.

I dunno if that helps, but its how ive survived in one of the most expensive cities in the country :)

Good luck to you! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Remote work is the future, you don't have to be stuck in traffic, get time to spend with your family, don't have to shift to a new city, save money and maybe travel and work from anywhere. We, at DailyRemote, are a remote job board and have new jobs posted in various fields such as marketing, sales, etc.

At Remote jobs we think that remote work is the future. Many companies offer a lot of remote jobs, especially in IT. Remote work means: more time for yourself and family, lower traffic, you can work wherever you want :)

Google recently introduced a new feature that can help find remote jobs. Typically, when you google for "home jobs" or "remote jobs", the results generate several job postings. It now up to you to select the legit ones based on your given discretion.
You can also find remote jobs on topnigerianjobs.com too although they mostly specialize in local job posting.

Search for "Remote" keyword, it also explains their interview process.

⭐️ Companies that don't have a broken hiring process

Hiring Without Whiteboards

A list of companies (or teams) that don't do "whiteboard" interviews. "Whiteboards" is used as a metaphor, and is a symbol for the kinds of CS trivia questions that are associated with bad interview practices. Whiteboards are not bad – CS trivia questions are. Using sites like HackerRank/LeetCode probably fall into a similar category.

The companies and teams listed here use interview techniques and questions that resemble day-to-day work. For example, pairing on a real world problem or a paid/unpaid take home exercise. Read (and contribute to) our recommendations for ways to conduct better interviews.

tl;dr

  • Discussing a real world problem (with or without whiteboard) is 👍
  • Solving CS trivia, technical puzzles, riddles, brainteasers (with or without whiteboard) is 👎

Please open a PR to be added.
