A remote listing may still require you to live in a specific place or work certain hours. Clarify the arrangement before planning a move or accepting an offer.
The useful takeaway
A remote listing may still require you to live in a specific place or work certain hours. Clarify the arrangement before planning a move or accepting an offer.
Check permitted locations
Look for state, country, and residency requirements. Ask the employer if the posting doesn’t say. A remote label is not permission to work internationally.
Check working hours
Find out whether the team has fixed shifts, core collaboration hours, or flexible scheduling. Consider the time-zone difference and your daily commitments.
Check travel and office visits
Ask about onboarding, team events, and recurring office days. Clarify who pays for required travel and where the arrangement is recorded.
