If you're looking for a remote job, you don't want to have to filter through a bunch of onsite jobs. This site does that for you.

> Why is remote working a good thing?

There are many benefits to working remotely.

- It saves you time and money because you don't have to commute.

- It generally gives you a more flexible schedule, which lets you spend more time doing things you love (hobbies, family, etc).

It's definitely not for everyone - you have to be self-driven otherwise you might have productivity issues. It also means you have to seek out your own community because you won't have as much social interaction with your co-workers.

I've worked remote for 5 years. In my case it's not flexible. I think if I was a pure developer it would be, but I have to be avaiable for requests/customer calls etc same as I would be in the office
