I’ve been applying for remote jobs on Mercor and several other remote job platforms, but I haven’t received any responses so far.

Honestly, I’m feeling exhausted from constantly applying and hearing nothing back.

If any of you are currently working remotely, could you share where you found your job or how you landed it? I know the market is rough right now and layoffs are happening everywhere, but I still believe there’s some hope out there.

Any advice, tips, or platform recommendations would really help. Thanks.

[Hiring] Social Media Sales Representative Asap Location: Remote (Wfh) Schedule: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (CST)

Moved abroad for a remote job about 8 months ago and the work part is great. Good salary, flexible schedule, interesting projects

The part nobody talks about is how lonely it gets. Not lonely in a "I have no one to talk to" way – I have coworkers on Slack and I go to coworking spaces. Lonely in a "nobody here really knows me" way

My friends back home are busy with their lives. The people I meet here are either other nomads who leave in a few months or locals who have their own social circles that are hard to break into. I make surface-level connections constantly but nothing that goes deep

Working from home makes it worse. In an office you at least have forced social interaction. Working remotely abroad means you have to actively build every single social connection from scratch. And when you're already spending energy on work and adapting to a new country, socializing becomes another task on the list

I'm not complaining – I chose this and I'd choose it again. But I want to know: how do you handle it? Do you actively fight the isolation or have you just accepted it as the cost of this lifestyle?

I usually work in tech but the market is terrible right now and I only have my remote customer service job. It doesn't pay a lot of money but could go far in a foreign country.

My laptop has the VPN on it to connect to the network. I was reading about KVMs and was wondering if I could leave my laptop here in the States running and be able to remote access into it without the IT team picking up on it.

Also, I would be taking calls. Is that possible to work? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for a fully remote job in Ireland. Ideally IT Support, Level 1 Helpdesk, Online Customer Service Chat etc.

Can you recommend any companies and websites please and where to find them?

Thanks

Packed up my apartment in Bangkok in January, flew home, and expected to feel relieved. Instead I felt like a tourist in my own city

The first week was nice. Family, familiar food, speaking my language without thinking about it. Then the novelty wore off and I started noticing things. My hometown felt smaller somehow. The conversations felt surface level compared to the deep "what are you doing with your life" talks you have with people on the road. The routine I used to love – same coffee shop, same gym, same faces – felt suffocating

My friends were fine but they'd moved on. Two years is a long time. People got married, changed jobs, formed new groups. I was the one who left and came back expecting everything to be on pause. It wasn't

The work part was surprisingly hard too. I went from choosing my desk – beach cafe, coworking space, apartment with a view – to sitting in the same room every day. The job was the same remote role but the environment made it feel completely different. Smaller

What I miss most isn't any specific country. It's the feeling of possibility. Waking up knowing that if next month doesn't feel right you can just move. That freedom is addictive and once it's gone you notice its absence constantly

I'm not saying nomad life is better. The loneliness was real, the instability was stressful, and constantly rebuilding your social circle gets old. But coming home made me realize I changed more than I thought. The person who left isn't the person who came back, and the place I came back to feels like it belongs to the old version of me

Every other remote job I see on LinkedIn requires me to be based in America, like why can't I work from Pakistan? It's an online job after all.

I was looking for CSR (Customer Support Representative) jobs but was unable to find almost any that didn't have the above mentioned restriction. I've worked previously as a Walmart Customer Support agent through a BPO named Ibex but left the job because the rotational shifts were merciless and they used to exploit us with a pay of around $300/month.

Also, if any of you got any guidance on how to land a remote job without that restriction then do enlighten me.
