"Prior to the pandemic, digital nomads were often seen as a fringe way of working and limited mostly to freelance jobs," Sara Sutton, founder and CEO at FlexJobs, said in a statement. "But as companies adopt more flexible arrangements, including location independence and remote work options, we anticipate people will have more opportunities than ever before to work remotely — and from anywhere in the world.
A growing number of people are choosing to take their work on the road: In a recent Lonely Planet survey of more than 1,400 respondents from six countries , 54% of workers self-identified as "anywhere workers," a new kind of digital nomad who splits their time between working remotely and traveling. FlexJobs also identified the industries hiring for the most work-from-anywhere jobs during the same period, a list that includes marketing, project management and customer service. Some of the most in-demand work-from-anywhere jobs included social media manager, executive assistant and front-end developer.
Several of the companies on FlexJobs's list are international, including StudySmarter, an edtech start-up headquartered in Munich, and ConsenSys, a New York-based software development firm that has employees in 42 countries, a spokesperson confirmed to CNBC Make It.
MakeIt Let me rephrase, I hope these 10 companies are a vacuum for the lazy, those laden with ennui, the entitled and the conditioned. I need my people with me...I love my people and the mission and we will do it together (old school). Some industries require more collaboration.
MakeIt I don't have a card around here I need some guidance
MakeIt Some people need this. Most people too lazy to go in to work which is killing the fabric of many companies.
