Remote Project Level Work?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-those-having-problems-finding-work dept.

Genjuro Kibagami asks: "With regards to the current environment in the tech sector and the difficulties finding good positions, I was curious if anyone had taken to running freelance work from their own computers at home? I'm not talking about your regular dodgy fly by night 'Make up to 10,000$ per week with no risk!' type thing. But perhaps problem solving, coding, professional advice, or remote administration / fix functions, payment via paypal or some such thing. Any assistance appreciated."

    You're going to be making a whole little money if you're up against overseas IT workers: Chinese, Philipinos, Indians, Pakistanis, Brits, French, Germans, sheesh, the whole planet.

    Bet that Indian dude undercuts you by 80% of what you expect to make.

    Otherwise, good luck and best wishes,
