Having a remote job has been a life-changing experience for me.
I worked in traditional offices for a few years before I decided to start working remotely. Working from anywhere frees you from commuting; it also requires you to be organized and productive, everyday. There are so many benefits of remote work — it’s hard to name them all.
I feel fortunate to have been given the chance to work from where I’m happiest and most productive.
I’d love for others to get to experience the freedom of remote work as well!
That’s why I created Remotive.io, to share my thoughts and learnings about remote work and to encourage others to take the plunge. Remotive is now the largest newsletter on remote work, and we’ve built a great community and resources. Over the past couple years, we’ve connected with thousands of remote workers and hundreds of remote companies to create the largest database of startups hiring remotely!
The list began with 200+ remote companies when we initially built the spreadsheet in 2016.
Today, the list is more than 600 remote companies.
If you’re looking for remote jobs, you’ve come to the right place!
