In this episode Jeff and Marisa discuss four fully-remote (work from anywhere) companies with current job listings.

Jeff and Marisa clearly outline exactly what you should be looking for in a job listing and company's website to determine if the company is high quality, and will actually give you permission to travel the world while you work.

They discuss specific language to look for in job listings that can be either green flags or red flags.

They walk through the keywords you should be tuned into when reading through the "about us" and "our culture" sections of a company's website.

Spoiler: The process of vetting these companies can be very time consuming! Make sure you get onto our email list and we will send you a weekly newsletter with the hottest fully-remote companies currently on the market.

Finding legitimate, fully-remote job listings is NOT a straightforward task.

As a matter of fact, job boards are a bit of a mirage. With thousands of "remote" job listings posted at any given time, you would think that your potential for finding a strong opportunity is good.

In reality, around 1% of those job listings are legitimate, fully-remote, and from quality companies.

In this episode, Marisa and Jeff walk you through the exact steps you need to take in order to identify remote jobs that give you permission to work from anywhere in the world. Be prepared, it's a bit of work. Finding legitimate job listings is an entire job unto itself. The hard part really starts with polishing your resume and cover letter, networking with decision makers at the company, preparing for interviews, etc.

In order to qualify for this list, each location must:


Be very safe from personal harm.
