Right now lots of folx are considering packing their bags and moving somewhere that is safer for them. The big worry? “What about work?”
There are lots and LOTS of remote ‘gigs’ and ‘jobs’ out there, but what about ‘careers’? Yup. Absolutely you can continue in your career or create a whole new one if you’ve been wanting to. The secret? Remote First companies.
Remote First companies are organizations that generally don’t have a physical location anywhere. They are 100% digital. And more often than not their employees work far and wide.
What this means for your career: you can continue in the career you have, just by going to work for a company that doesn’t care where you work from. You can do the same role, have the same (or higher) title and generally do the same work.
Many of these jobs offer added flexibility like 4 day work weeks. You can use that extra day for learning & development, mentoring or just living your life and not getting burnt out!
You can also use remote work to further your career by applying for a role/title that is a step up (or two) from your current role. Remote First means that you don’t have to be in any particular labor market to be eligible.
So where to start? Check out a few of these sites below:
