In this video we're going to be discussing how聽 you can find a work from home job for developers聽聽
[5]
in 2021. Since the pandemic has hit in 2020,聽 things have been very different in the job market.聽聽
[11]
Nowadays there are a lot more companies are聽 willing to accept remote workers and this is聽聽
[17]
fantastic if you really want to work from home.聽 Previously you couldn't do that. In the past聽聽
[23]
many companies required you to be in聽 their office in order to do the work聽聽
[27]
which for the type of job that we have for web聽 developers and software developers it's really聽聽
[32]
not essential that you're in the office at all聽 but from the perspective of the employer it does聽聽
[37]
make sense to have staff in the office as it聽 is easier to control what work is being done聽聽
[42]
and having staff in the office makes it easier聽 to see what problems are being encountered聽聽
[46]
so since a pandemic has happened there are聽 a lot more employers that are looking to聽聽
[50]
hire remote developers it just makes it聽 easier now to do things remotely because聽聽
[55]
of the complications of covet 19 so let's look at聽 some of the websites you can use in 2021 to find a聽聽
[62]
job as a remote developer so the first website i'm聽 going to look at is remotely, and i've actually聽聽
[67]
only just discovered this website recently but聽 it does look quite promising in terms of the聽聽
[72]
jobs that are offered there and you also have the聽 ability to toggle us-only jobs. You can turn that聽聽
[78]
off if you're outside of the us so that will make聽 it easier to find jobs that are relevant to you聽聽
[85]
and i really like the messaging that they have聽 on the top of the website so it really sells the聽聽
[89]
point of working from home the benefits from聽 working from home and another useful feature聽聽
[94]
on this website is that it allows you to browse聽 remote companies so you can pick the company that聽聽
[100]
you're looking for and see what job opportunities聽 that they have open right at this moment so if聽聽
[105]
you click on a company name then you can see the聽 different categories now in this particular case聽聽
[110]
they don't have any jobs but there are many聽 other companies that do have jobs available.
[117]
And the second website we will聽 be looking at is angel list聽聽
[120]
and this is a website i have聽 been using for quite some time聽聽
[123]
and it has some really nice features that make聽 it easy to find the job that you're looking for.
[129]
One of the things i really like about this聽 website is how they have these tags on each job聽聽
[134]
so you can see that this case it is highly rated聽 it is covered friendly so the hiring even though聽聽
[140]
covet is happening and there's a good work life聽 balance and it is recently funded so some of these聽聽
[145]
things will help you to decide if this company聽 is a good fit for you as a developer and another聽聽
[152]
feature i really like on this website that most聽 of the sites don't have is the ability to see what聽聽
[157]
the pay will be like for that job so what is the聽 pay range for that job based on your experience聽聽
[164]
so here we can see that this job is from 105 000聽 us dollars up until 145 000 so depending on how聽聽
[171]
much experience you have where you will sit within聽 that threshold but it gives you a really good idea聽聽
[177]
about what kind of company you're working for and聽 what is the possibilities in terms of compensation聽聽
[184]
and the third website we will be looking at聽 is remote okay and this is a website that was聽聽
[189]
built by peter levels and he is very active聽 in creating products around digital nomads聽聽
[194]
and while it does have limited jobs in the聽 search terms i was looking for there are still聽聽
[200]
quite a few good jobs that allow you to work聽 remotely and from any location that you want聽聽
[207]
the fourth website that we will look at is聽 we work remotely and this is a very popular聽聽
[212]
website for finding remote jobs so we can search聽 at the top of the website so we'll search here聽聽
[218]
for node.js as an example and you can see that聽 there are a number of jobs that have been returned聽聽
[224]
so on the listing page we don't see a whole lot of聽 information but once we click inside here we can聽聽
[229]
see that it is a full-time role as a full stack聽 developer and in this case it's for europeans only聽聽
[235]
and quite often the reason for this is due聽 to the time zone but i guess in some ways聽聽
[239]
if they're paying in the same currency it聽 just makes things easier for them in terms聽聽
[243]
of reporting but this website gives you quite聽 a bit of information about each of these jobs聽聽
[249]
there's good amount of information there and there聽 is quite a lot of new jobs added to this website聽聽
[254]
so i'd recommend checking out this website if聽 you're looking for a remote job as a developer.
[261]
And the final website we will聽 look at is stack overflow jobs聽聽
[265]
so stack overflow jobs is quite a common place聽 to find work as a remote developer there are so聽聽
[272]
many developers on this website every day that it聽 makes sense for a remote job to be advertised here聽聽
[279]
now again there are only a limited number of聽 jobs here but if you search around the keywords聽聽
[284]
you may find something that is聽 a very good opportunity here聽聽
[288]
so we can see that they do have a lot of options聽 on this website so we can filter by the salary聽聽
[293]
by the location by the job perks but in the case聽 of searching for a job as a developer it really聽聽
[300]
depends on what type of developer you are and how聽 many jobs are available whether you will actually聽聽
[305]
want to use these filters or not so generally i聽 will just do the search term without the filters聽聽
[311]
but you can experiment with this and see what聽 gives you the best results let me know in the聽聽
[317]
