Job hunting for remote work is a mess right now
Matty Merritt | Morning Brew
There are very few activities worse than opening your laptop, sorting through 20 different versions of “Resume_ACTUALFINAL.doc.pdf”, and submitting one to a virtual stack of other resumes that are just as good (if not better) than yours.
When you throw on the “remote only” filter, the hunt feels even bleaker—and it is.

Luckily, some seriously smart people have thought hard about how to address these challenges and make it work.
What city will you NEVER visit based on it's reputation?
JeffLaRue | Reddit
Some comments: I won’t go to Mogadishu because I don’t want to be skinned alive.
Other comments: I won’t go to Cape Cod because I hear the crab cakes aren’t what they used to be.
The lethargy of remote work is palpable. There’s no electricity, spirit, comradery, and magic.
