Have you looked for a remote software developer job during the past 2-3 years? Every application gets thousands of applications and it’s almost impossible to stand out from the crowd. Those were my “Plan B” jobs when I was looking both last year and the year before. I was able to find remote jobs quickly both times for my Plan A jobs[1]. But I have specialized experience for the type of jobs I was looking for.

It has never taken me more than a month from looking for a job to finding one and that’s been across 10 jobs since 1996 and 8 of those were post 2008.

The second problem is that a lot of companies, especially BigTech companies, are forcing either a hybrid or full in office schedule.

The third problem is that most companies aren’t set up to hire people from just anywhere

[1] Plan A jobs were strategic cloud consulting jobs where I work with sales to get clients and then lead the projects. These days, even AWS Professional Services (former employer)and GCPs departments are requiring their “field by design” roles to be in the office when they are not at a customer’s site.
