всем привет!
мне 21, работаю на госслужбе с 19 лет. основную сферу деятельности раскрывать не буду, но отмечу, что она предусматривает выезд в командировки заграницу на достаточно долгий период (от 1 года), где можно неплохо заработать. я понимаю, что это неплохой вариант, чтобы путешествовать по странам и узнавать новую культуру, но, к сожалению, чем старше ты становишься, тем чаще хочется иметь работу, которая не предусматривает разлуки с твоей семьей. я буду в командировке ближайшие 2-3 года и мне хочется освоить какую-то новую специальность за это время, с которой я могла бы работать удаленно и получать достаточно (от 2500$ в месяц), чтобы покрывать свои основные расходы. если вы знаете какие-то профессии и курсы, которые действительно дали необходимые навыки и помогли впоследствие найти работу - буду очень признательна, если поделитесь.
заранее спасибо!

Has anyone had any luck finding a remote job recently. It is becoming surprisingly difficult to get one.

hello so lately I've been working as a freelancer in copywriting for some usa agency but for them to be able to pay me they need a route number which is only available for usa accounts.

i have tried wise but in morocco it doesn't let you receive money. i tried also multiple methods but since i live in morocco and have no residency elsewhere nothing seems to work.

any idea or work around that i can do? i would rly appreciate your help.

Based in Europe (work authorization here), background in tech consulting and finance. Targeting remote roles with US companies and getting nowhere. I am looking to stay in Europe and work remotely for a US company.

For anyone who's done it:

1. Did you land the role first and then negotiate the EOR setup, or filter upfront for companies that already hire globally?
2. Any way to surface those roles instead of "remote (US only)"?
3. Is invoicing as a contractor the more realistic path?

Edit: I am a U.S. citizen.

Hi people of reddit!

I've been working from home as a full stack developer for the last 4 years. When I started working here I was thinking about doing it in my country until I got enough experience to try working for another country since the year income in my country for developers is quite low (italy) especially in the consulting business where you dont really have a chance to work towards an higher position or some advances in career.

Now, since the job market in italy doesnt offer much more than what i'm making right now (and when it does it requires me to be a VAT registered entity but taxation eats so much money that leaves me with nothing more than what im already making), I was trying to look around for jobs in other countries where the pay is much higher but i'd like to learn if someone else has done this already and has some insight or advice on what i should do.

Thanks a lot and sorry if i wrote some bad english. I speak it way better than how i write it (also im kinda rusty but i plan on going back to study it if i decide to make the jump)

Hey everyone,
I’m currently looking for jobs in the UK or US and I’m not really sure where to start as an international applicant.
I’m looking for companies that are open to hiring people from outside the country and, ideally, can help with visa sponsorship.
If anyone has experience with this, I’d really appreciate any tips on where to look, which websites or companies are worth checking, and how you guys went about it.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Germany right now and my biggest goal is to have a 100% remote job that lets me travel and live in different countries for longer periods of time (Thailand, Indonesia, South America, etc.).

What I don’t really understand: I keep seeing posts from people who live abroad for months or even years while working for a company in their home country. But when I read about German rules, it looks like I can’t just live outside Germany for too long if my job and employer are based here (tax residency, social insurance, number of days abroad, etc.).

So my questions:

- If you have a German contract and are employed in Germany, how are you practically living in places like Thailand or Indonesia for longer than a few months?

- Is the only realistic option to work as a freelancer / contractor, or for a foreign company?

- Are there specific roles or industries (that are not classic IT/developer jobs) where fully remote work from “anywhere” is actually possible for Germans?

I don’t have an IT background, and to be honest I’m a bit lost about which direction makes sense now with AI changing everything. Friends who work in IT tell me it’s getting more and more competitive, some even lost their jobs or are worried they will. So I’m hesitant to invest years into a new field that might be unstable.

For me, the main thing is freedom, not maximizing salary. I’d be happy earning “enough” if it lets me live in cheaper, beautiful countries and work from my laptop. I just don’t know which path is realistic:

- Should I try to retrain into a specific remote‑friendly field?

- Look at freelancing / online business instead of classic employment?

- Or are my worries about German rules exaggerated and there are legal ways to stay abroad longer than I think?

I’d really appreciate concrete examples from other Germans or EU citizens who managed to do this, and any advice on realistic job paths that make sense in 2026 with AI and all these changes.

Thanks in advance for any insights and personal experiences!

Curious how the whole process works. How did you handle hiring, payments, banking, taxes, and day-to-day operations? Any tools or tips that made it easier? Would love to hear your experience!

What has been your experience so far and how you managed to get the job?

Hi everyone, I’m new to Reddit and honestly going through the classic “I’m in my 30s and have no idea what the hell I’m doing with my life anymore” crisis.
Work is becoming more precarious, life is getting harder, and every time I try to find a new job I seem to run into scams, fake job postings or some bullshit “make $10k/month working from Bali” scheme.
And seriously… what the hell do these people actually do?! 😂
I desperately want to find a legitimate remote job. I’ve tried LinkedIn, Indeed, remote job boards, AI search tools, basically everything.

So, for those of you actually working remotely: what do you do, where did you find your job, and which websites are actually legit?

I’m desperate for some real advice from people who have actually managed to do this.

I’m honestly exhausted by the constant uncertainty and by feeling like I’m always one step behind everyone else.
