Hey, is it legal to scrape a lot of data and put in an aggregator? I ask because I want to do an idea pretty much like yours and this my concern at the moment.
I was thinking about emailing the person to ask for permission before posting, how do you handle it (if you don't mind sharing)
North American English is easier to understand for North American employers and staff. Some folks have a difficult time with accents (hearing issues, etc). Anecdotal, but I have an aunt who always hangs up on customer support who have accents because her ears can't process the tones. Even British English can be difficult for some North Americans. Then again, so can southern American dialects for North Americans and non-Americans alike.
Working remotely (albeit interstate within the U.S., not internationally) at $100k. Definitely possible. Have seen remote positions up to $180k+ so I imagine there's still plenty of room to grow.
It seems like companies are uneasy hiring people a) for significantly more than they already make or b) for their first remote position.
I work at Trello, and the FogCreek, Trello, StackOverflow trio of companies (1) hire remote (2) even non-US and (3) pay US market salaries.
See their respective sites for current openings.
I found this job on Careers.StackOverflow.com (which has a lot of remote jobs and good filtering) -- if you need an invite, my contact info is on my HN profile page.
Colleague easily makes 100k, working in the east coast of Canada, while still doing her undergrad. The rest of her team works in Redmond. I'll leave you to guess where she works.
There's no reason a role should pay less for being remote. Remote workers that I know get market rates. Especially considering how much more productive a remote worker is not to mention the savings to the employer. I think the key is not for looking for "remote" jobs, but roles which are good fits and asking about the possibility of remote. If they balk, explain how it benefits them.
I can't find anything remote. I've been a WordPress and front end dev for about five years but I don't know Angular/React so no luck for me...In my experience, I only see the 15k a year posts too.
If you have five years exp. with front end development (inl. js, I hope), picking up ReactJs and AngularJs is pretty trivial. I was able to pick up Angular in about 3 weeks, and React in about the same, though it did take a little while for everything to settle in. Best advice? Take something you wrote WITHOUT those technologies, and refactor it with them.
I was, working in a niche role which you can't find locally. MySQL DB administrator - a role which is grown organically at companies which use MySQL, it's not one which is taught in school.
But that's for companies outside Australia, right? My experience has been that Australian companies are not still open to the idea of remote work(Melbourne).
Yes, I'm outside of the US, making 100k+ working for a US company, using my favorite language (c#).
The company hires people from Europe, Asia, South America, wherever there's talent.
I'm working remotely making >100k. I was -1hr and now I'm +2hrs relative to the home office and the majority of the clientele. I'm very happy. I'm a US Resident though.
Yes. Also a US resident but living outside of the US. Took a 20% pay cut to be able to work fully remotely but still over 100k. I found it on Angellist and interviewed in person.
Started at a company locally, then I became remote. I feel that may the path of least resistance if you're looking to make that type of money.
US resident here.
You sound like you have a solid background, I'm sure you could easily find a job that pays triple if not more than your current position (or do I just live in a bubble?)
Unfortunately, and you will hear this a lot if you ask, all of the really sweet jobs don't ever make it to job boards, and especially not race-to-the-bottom cesspools like eLance/oDesk/Upstart.
You have to network, and you have to network hard. Not to promote yourself (that's advertising), but to learn what challenges the tech teams at companies need help with today. And when you find a mutually beneficial opportunity, they will be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL if you were to mention your skills and leverage them to solve real business needs.
What those needs are, how your skills apply, and how you approach the situation are entirely up to you and the circumstances you encounter.
Upside: Choose Your Own Adventure
Downside: I can't give you any general advice that would help; it's a skill everyone has to cultivate in their own, I think.
Maybe I'm wrong about the downside. I'd love to find out if I am.
on premise 60 k is easy in India 80k is not difficult. Look for captives and most of them give work from home so it is like remote with standard income.
