Many postings have limitations on location/timezone, which why idea of that post was born. It is much easier for anyone in same situation to lookup for location agnostic job here, at least it looks like so to me. Also there are postings, which does not say anything about location limitations, until final steps in recruitment process - which is not only time consuming, but in general frustrating.
I have worked remotely for over a decade, including from overseas, mostly as a freelancer. Except for some obvious exceptions and some backwards companies, my experience is that every job is remote for the right person. First you sell yourself. Where and when you do the work from is a discussion you have after they want to hire you, not a filter you stop at when looking for work. Admittedly this is a bit easier for freelancers.
When employers/customers have raised the location/timezone objection — which would happen after they decided they want to hire me — I tell them let’s try it and see if it’s a real problem. I commit to responding to emails (or Slack) within 12 hours, making myself available at any time with some advance notice, and giving them a phone number I will answer 24/7 in case of emergency. No one has ever fired me or canceled a contract because I was in Greece or Vietnam.
In sales lingo this is called overcoming objections. You overcome objections one at a time, as the customer/employer raises them. You should have a plan to overcome the likely objections. You don’t filter yourself out from the beginning. Simply getting interviewed and hired is the biggest thing to get past.
I’m not a loner oddball. I participate in and even manage teams and projects, do system admin and maintain infrastructure, and write code, all remotely. Several of my nomadic friends had full-time jobs somewhere and just went traveling and continued doing their jobs, no one even asked where they were.
You might get more responses if you got more specific about what kind of work you’re looking for, and what you bring to the table. Your question is so vague that even though I know companies that hire remote people I have no idea if there’s a match so I’m not going to just post a long list of companies I know about.
