Description
In our previous episode, our guests Tammy and Theresa discussed career progression in remote and global teams. In this episode, Maya and Pilar look at another sector of the working population: freelancers, and discuss what’s going on with remote freelancers and remote workers who want to access opportunities in a country different to where they reside. Maya and Pilar explore the world of remote freelancers. Maya's initiative, Remote Work Europe, supports those new to remote work, offering guidance and job opportunities. The boundaries between traditional employment and freelancing are blurring due to remote work's flexibility. Challenges arise from limited remote entry-level roles and complex international hiring processes. Early-career remote workers might initially need in-person training, but highlighting remote-specific skills can be advantageous. The rise of freelancing is evident, yet transitioning can be bureaucratic - and our special guest Sondre Rasch of Safetywing suggests countries simplify self-employment processes.
