I’ve been following this subreddit for a while now and been wondering how do you guys at LATAM manage to get remote interviews without LinkedIn

I update my CV and LinkedIn to get AI scrappers attention and have been applying a lot but all my interviews have been through recruiters reaching out at LinkedIn.

I’m considering deactivating my LinkedIn to avoid OE suspicions in case I do land 2 jobs

How do you do it?

I saw these two questions on separate applications. IMO asking this during the application is wildly invasive and frankly irrelevant. What do you all think?

I started J1 in beginning of Oct. and it's flexible 40 hrs including weekends. Use workday for clocking in.

J2 interview is coming up and also offers flexible 40 hrs with weekends. Should J1 be mentioned during the interview? Both not gov jobs only contract. J1 is short term couple months.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not here to preach any course or something like that.

I just don’t understand why you guys don’t try building and scaling your own business. Most of you are highly qualified professionals and perfectly capable of building a money generating system. Instead, you spend months for finding other jobs and keep switching between their schedules. Isn’t it stressful? Is life all about working and working?

Before anyone asks, I do ecommerce; so yeah, I am not employed in the traditional sense.

So I have an offer for J2 but found out through my own research that that use TWN and froze it. However, I realized then that my current J1 has been reporting to TWN. I have two questions:

1. What will J2 most likely do if my TWN is locked? This is because my current J1 is on my tax return and I saw someone say that's the paperwork they requested for validation.
   
2. Will J1 notice that I locked my TWN and call me into HR?

Job 1: March 2022-December 2025
Job 2: March 2024-current
Job 3: April 2024- current

Job 1 ended up changing management and I literally had no choice but to quit. The job came from being an OE dream to insane micromanagement. Well now I struggle with navigating my resume because if I omit Job 1 it will look like I have an insane gap on my resume. Advice?

I've been lurking here for a while, and I'm genuinely impressed by people managing multiple remote positions.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to land one solid remote job.

A little background:

MBA and master's in project management.

Approximately six years of combined experience in reporting, analytics, and business operations at large organizations, including healthcare and telecommunications.

Experience with Excel, SQL, reporting systems, and dashboards.

Currently refreshing and expanding my skills in Power BI, Tableau, Python, and statistics.

Interested in data analytics, business analytics, healthcare operations, and process improvement.

I'm targeting positions in the $75K–$100K range, preferably fully remote.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have successfully landed multiple remote positions.

A few questions:

Which job titles or specialties have produced the best results for you?

Are you finding jobs primarily through LinkedIn, recruiters, referrals, or direct company applications?

What separates candidates who consistently get interviews from those who struggle?

Are there particular industries or types of employers you'd recommend?

What would you prioritize if you were searching for your first remote position today?

I'm not looking to juggle five jobs. I'd just like to land one good position where I can contribute and continue developing professionally.

I figured a community full of people who seem to collect remote jobs like Pokémon might have some useful insights.

Appreciate any constructive advice.

Hello everyone.

So my wife is getting laid off and is interviewing with another company. Current company is set on her last day and the new company won’t budge on their start date. She is expected to receive a severance from her current company which she would lose if she left early. The current job doesn’t keep her very busy. This is in pharma, do you think she would get caught working two jobs for two weeks? Do they check those kinds of things?

Thank you in advance.

I just received an offer letter for a new J2 and I have a few questions about how to navigate a new J2.

I will obviously need to undergo a background check, I obviously won’t be unfreezing my TWN but when needing to verify employment history do you provide paystubs for both Js? Won’t they know that you’re working multiple Js when you provide both paystubs?

I completed a year of OE with J1 fully onsite and j2 fully remote. J2 work is max 2 hours a day unless some prod pipeline breaks. J1 is too busy and takes more than 8 hours a day sometimes (big tech) even with AI and stuff I’m always busy.

The problem is I haven’t taken a single day off other than holidays and now I’m kind of getting tired. Just need some motivation to keep going.

TC: $215k J1 + 105k J2

Well after I got laid off I just got offered a new J2 just when the severance pay ended.

The pay is almost 50% less than my last J2 but I just negotiated a little bit higher than what was offered and I figured it was worth it to take it while I look for a higher paying J2. This time around I plan to do things little different. I lived a little lavish for a bit but now it is time to save and plan.
God speed 🫡

pessoal, estou com 2 jobs, tem dias que é tranquilo, outros eu passo a noite toda e vou dormir só 12 AM pra conseguir entregar tudo dos jobs, recebi uma proposta de j3 hoje, vou chegar a um patamar de salario que nunca havia chegado, mas tenho medo dos problemas que posso desenvolver, tenho ansiedade e ja tive TEPT que venho tratando e to muito melhor, venho de uma família pobre de classe baixa entao a oferta de chegar a esse patamar financeiro é algo incrivel, mas tenho medo de prejudicar minha saúde a longo prazo, o que vocês acham? Será que o dinheiro a mais compensa o estresse? Vou poder comprar bastante coisa e não me preocupar com a fatura do cartão ao final do mês mas ao mesmo tempo terei que reduzir academia, esportes e lazer…

Interested in remote nursing but the pay is so low I’d have to work 2 or 3 to make it.

Generally curious if an EE can be OE. I usually have to work in office to do my job, but jealous of more remote roles and I would totally try this.

I have two J’s in Seattle and want to move to NYC. Knowing that NYC has income tax, I’m in a bit of a pickle. I will be paying property taxes in Seattle still

The problem:
J1: Allows me to transfer remotely to NYC (I would pay income tax in NYC)
J2: Does not allow me to transfer remotely out of Seattle, so I cannot notify them of my move, and hence cannot pay income tax for NYC.

The question:
Can I swing this by not telling J2 of my move and continuing to act like I still work in Seattle? I’m concerned if NYC will find out I’m only paying taxes for 1 job (idk how they would even find out??), and what J2 would do if they found out (besides firing me obv).

Is my plan ok?:
- report j2 + j1 to IRS
- Tell j1 I moved to nyc and withhold nyc taxes and some extra to cover j2 // dont tell j2 I moved to nyc and i cant withhold any taxes for nyc
- When filing taxes, file a manual nyc tax return for both jobs

Would love to hear some thoughts!!

Hello! New to the subreddit and didn’t want to freeload asking for links/jobs, so i come asking for advice.

What skills would you recommend to someone trying to be proficient in remote Js? Is there a typical role/duty remote workers get assigned to?

What gadgets/appliances have you purchased you found neat to help with your day of work? It could be as simple as a back straightener or an espresso machine, anything flies!

Lastly, share some wisdom! Is there anything you wish you learned sooner in the fields of remote, or maybe even the specific field you’re currently in? Someone around here might share the same experiences as you, and you might help someone in the same predicament(s).

Hey folks,

After a streak of bad luck, I managed to land two decent jobs around the same time and decided to give OE a shot. One is in sales and the other in marketing. Both companies are fairly new, and their processes are all over the place, so it's worked out decently enough. I have some leeway to manage both roles.

When I started, I decided to stop using LinkedIn altogether. My assumption was that having an outdated profile is common enough that neither company would bother checking.

Today, however, my manager at J2 reached out and asked me to update my LinkedIn to reflect my employment and link the company page.

I complied, but now I'm exposed to someone at J1 checking my profile and discovering J2. Contractually, I'm not breaking any rules, but we all know how companies can feel about OE.

I've already disabled profile update notifications and removed the company from the top of my profile. I'm trying to minimize visibility without doing anything unusual that could raise suspicion.

I don't particularly expect anyone at J1 to check my LinkedIn again, but you never know. And if I had to choose between the two jobs, I'd keep J1 in a heartbeat.

In hindsight, I probably should've handled LinkedIn differently from the beginning, but here we are.

Has anyone dealt with a manager explicitly requesting a LinkedIn update while OE? Is there anything else I can realistically do to minimize exposure without making things more suspicious?

Appreciate any advice!
