A weekly newsletter with the best new remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.
By Daniel (@nodeskco).
I’m excited to share with you the first issue of the new NODESK newsletter here on Substack.
Each week, you’ll get the latest remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, remote company profiles, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.
All of the content on NODESK and the newsletter will continue to be available for free to everyone.
Finding a remote job is hard. I don’t want to make the process more difficult by adding a paywall and turn someone away who’s not in a position to pay.
However, doing things the right way means putting in the hours, so if you’d like to support my work and have the opportunity to do so, please consider joining as a paid member.
But your support also goes a long way when you share the NODESK website and newsletter on social media, encourage your friends to sign up, and mention NODESK if you apply for a remote job.
Thanks again, and if you want to get in touch, email me on nodeskco@gmail.com.

Afterthought:
Remote work will never been an absolute thing. It depends on context, personal habits/preferences and most importantly: experience doing it over time.
I personally cannot work from home. COVID has made it worse as kids are home BUT even if I had the whole house to myself, I just cannot work from home. I NEED a dedicated office outside my house (yes I already have an office room in my house). Reason is simple. I don’t have the discipline to work from home. I get distracted too easily. So I’m not a good candidate for WFH. Do I want the flexibility when needed? Of course. But do I WANT to work from home all the time? Hell no.
I would say the future of work is not just remote. The future of work is “employers allowing more flexibility in work location” but as an employer myself, I am personally not in favor of 100% remote. That’s me I know but sorry, not everyone is cut out for remote work.
