Halloween may be over, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t still scared of your commute. After all, the cost of car ownership and the inconsistency of public transit are enough to give any employee a fright, which is why so many people are looking for remote jobs this month.
Luckily, we at Tech.co have our finger on the pulse when it comes to working from home, and we’ve developed comprehensive guides that follow the hiring practices of big tech firms like Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
In this guide, you’ll learn about some of the companies that are hiring for remote positions in November 2024 and glean some tips and tricks for landing the work-from-home job of your dreams.
Yahoo!
Yes, we are excited about the prospect of you getting a new remote, but that’s not what this section is about. Actually, Yahoo! — the web services company — offers a wide range of remote positions that can have you working from home in no time.
Even better, Yahoo compensation is quite competitive, with software engineers making more than $80,000 per year and senior software engineers making as much as $166,000 per year, according to data from Indeed.
