Does being in Hawaii automatically disqualify me from 95% of tech jobs?

    There’s more remote work options for IT staff today than ever.

    Lots of us are working remote and wishing we could move to Hawaii.

      I am having the hardest time getting hired. I think being in an odd time zone that no one else shares hurts not to mention the labor laws Hawaii makes employers follow.

      Do you know any good resources for finding remote work?

        Time zone does hurt. I think I would proactively communicate “willing to work on these timezones schedules” during the application.

        Most remote friendly organizations have a good amount of flex in the workdayb hours, as long as a few daily hours overlap for everyone. This means it’s often possible to meet half way, where I’m working earlier or later than is strictly ideal for y area, but my day overlaps substantially with the team.

        It is a hard time to get hired, right now. It should get better once the regulation and budget cuts in US politics settle down a bit.

        For remote jobs, I’ve still gotten most of my jobs through personal references from people I know, just like before remote work was so popular.

      Most remote jobs are being offshored to India or other 3rd world countries.

      If the oligarchy isn’t abolished asap then things will get much, much worse before it gets better
