6 Steps How to Get a Remote Job in 2021

 https://www.ryrob.com/remote-job/

“Finally figuring out how to get a remote job. It sounds like a pretty desirable goal in 2021 now, right? More flexibility with your schedule. No more sitting in traffic driving to an office (that may or may not be open at the moment). More time to allocate towards side projects.

The list of benefits from getting a remote job goes on and on. As a full-time remote worker (and blogger) myself, I get to experience many of these benefits first-hand. But being in business full-time for yourself also comes with more risks, higher costs, and the ever-present potential for down times.”

“As the postpandemic great reopening unfolds, millions of others are also reassessing their relationship to their jobs. The modern office was created after World War II, on a military model—strict hierarchies, created by men for men, with an assumption that there is a wife to handle duties at home. But after years of gradual change in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, there’s a growing realization that the model is broken. Millions of people have spent the past year re-evaluating their priorities. How much time do they want to spend in an office? Where do they want to live if they can work remotely? Do they want to switch careers? For many, this has become a moment to literally redefine what is work.”
