My contract at my current place is coming to an end and they are letting me go because I moved country’s and to be honest I understand because I’m the only one on payroll that has extra requirements, so yea I will be looking for a new job and want some websites to find some job advertisements, mostly IT related but recent years I have been in front end development.

Fucking everywhere. I’m looking at the moment and want remote. Every recruiter I’ve spoken to has said no problem.

I usually find down the back of the sofa the best place to look.

In all seriousness, hope you find the job you're looking for.

If you knew clojure I could get you a fully remote job from anywhere in the world, but fucking no one knows clojure

Silly question: could you set up a UK umbrella company and do contract work through that?

Don't shoot me, but get Linkedin Premium. Update the shit out of all your information and make sure to include your location (ideally where you want to live, but you can also add that you are open to remote work etc).

It worked an absolute dream for me and was how I got to be in Amsterdam full time. Really nice company, good boss etc. It won't happen overnight but it will open your options up a lot. Best of luck!

Yes but I don’t have the patience to deal with people so I will always work for a company .

On the note I have about 8k savings that I have available to me so I am not in a rush to settle for anything I just don’t want to fall out of routine because it’s so hard to adapt back.

Problem is that it creates extra tax complications, can you not find a recruiter in the country you moved too for remote work?

If he’s working as a freelancer then there aren’t any extra tax complications, he can just invoice the company. Often you can undercut larger companies in the UK who charge 3 times the price for poor work.

Unfortunately brexit fucked me, can’t work here without a job offer/sponsorship and they don’t really give them unless you’re like top notch at your line of work, so in the mean time I’m expanding my knowledge and hoping to get a sponsor

Can’t do it here, atleast as far as I’m aware. They just introduced a white card so 1 year working visa for remote workers.

If you have residency, I don’t see why you couldn’t set up yourself up as a business.
