How to Find a WFH Job

Filter the job websites by “remote”. There’s a few specialized sites that have popped up over the last year or so, but I’m not familiar with them.

Good luck. Remote work also means you’re competing with EVERYONE, not just local knuckleheads.

What field are you in?

Make sure you take advantage of LinkedIn. Connect with recruiters, connect with alumni from your school that work for companies you are interested in and don't be afraid to ask for referrals.

Like the previous poster said, filter the available jobs by remote too!

Burnt out already?

I graduated from LSU in poli sci in 2019. Did good work for the government for a few years after that and private sector recruited me with a WFH job making double what I did with the Gov't. Life's been excellent since.

Be ready to feel very disposable with full remote work. Many companies are forced to hire this way lately and don't like it.

Yep. I report to the C Suite and I've never even met half of them in person, yet they keep throwing me more money and responsibility.

New world we live in.

I started a new job fully remote in late 2020. It was hard to build relationships. Everything was transactional. 6 months later I started doing part in-person, part-remote, going in when I want to, and relationships grew much quicker and more naturally.

While I don’t disagree with your point entirely, remote working in a formerly in-office environment takes A LOT of adaptation. 6 months in late 2020 is not really an adequate adjustment period for most people, particularly older individuals. It really does require a wholesale change in how you conduct business. Video vs just audio makes a huge difference, as well as changes in how meetings are conducted, and the cadence of those touch points.

To your point though, in-person does help build relationships quicker and create stronger bonds. Some hybrid type schedule seems to work best, even if it’s just a once a month team meeting together or the occasional workshop type environments.

I’m not arguing full 40 in person, but full remote makes you a number in the system

Remote is tough. Employers are more and more looking for areas to trim, and the dude who's never there is usually the first look. Also, they know how bad people do NOT want to actually go to work, and they use that as a bargaining chip against you (i.e. they don't need to offer you much when they think you'll take anything). Seeing how a lot of companies have already zero'd it, I wouldn't want to be one of the last just waiting for that hammer to drop. At least it would be a stressful existence for most. That's why you see so many silent WFHer's attending every Zoom meeting. When the only thing you are really accountable to do is login, they make sure they at least do that.

On top of that, it has become so competitive, anyone with talent would likely do better when it's visible head to head with others. Perception has a lot to do with careers.
