I didn't want to write anything at this time but I think this is important....
If you're working from home now or wishing you were. This is a good read.

This is a serious situation.
I think people should be at home with their loved ones keeping their health as a top priority.
In my opinion that meant this was no time for an update on what jobs to apply to.
I still feel that way a bit but I also feel for the thousands of people that are not going to be working from home tomorrow.
This email is for them.
Situations like this make us realize how important flexibility in the workplace is.
Some jobs will never be able to work from home (i.e. construction, waiters, nurses, doctors, etc) but if your job is working on a computer, I hope you are home tomorrow.
If you are not, I thought it would good to point you in the direction of some companies that can help you avoid this situation in the future!
Here we go:
Deel is a company completely focused on helping companies that hire remote workers.
With that in mind they are a completely remote company.
They also JUST raised money so that should help them weather the storm we are about to go through!
Below is a link to all of their positions:
Pipe is another company that just received funding.
They’re not hiring a lot of positions.
Actually there is just one opening.
That is how new they are.
That said, I think it’s a good company to look at.
I wrote about them here.
Below is a link to their job opening:
???? - This was a company we featured on our paid subscription so I can’t say the name
That said, they recently received $72 million in funding.
I believe out of all of the companies listed here they stand the best chance to weather this storm.
They’ve been around longer than the other two companies and until recently they have been profitable.
I highly recommend you check them out.
Here is a Twitter thread by @levelsio.
In the thread are hundreds of people looking for remote jobs and hundreds of people hiring for remote jobs.
It’s another great resource if you are looking for a way to work from home in the future!
Ok, that is it for now.
My original plan was for this post to be a paid post but I thought this was too important to hold out.
The next post will be paid.
It features a company growing over 3x year over year.
I’m excited about it.

And as always.
