Remote Ever After

When you get hired for a remote job, you need to sign an independent contract agreement with the company hiring. Most of the companies that I see use digital contracts, e-signing and don't bother with actual paperwork. There are many web apps that provide e-signing like HelloSign, DocuSign, PandaDoc. Today is for PSPDFkit. They are a startup from Vienna, Austria that provides APIs and an SDK that developers use to power document processing features like e-signing, document viewing and editing, collaboration and much more. They have just raised €100 million ($116 million) of funding and they are hiring for a few roles atm. They have team members in 17 countries and growing.

“The future of work in no work” according to the founder of Gumroad and we are slowly making our way there. As their next step, lots of companies have joined the new 4-day workweek initiative. There are studies showing that reducing the number of work hours leads to increased productivity. You can add the 4-day workweek to the list of potential benefits you can negotiate for with global remote companies. One of the companies that have switched to 4-day workweek is Buffer. They tested the new format in 2020 and in 2021 they officially stated that they are gonna keep this format without cutting the pay. Yay! Way to go, Buffer! Buffer is the leader of work culture, they were the first ones to embrace fully remote work and starting to hire globally. The reason why I’m convinced 4-day workweek is going to be a reality for many of us soon is the history of how we got to the 40-hour 5-day workweek. It is one aspect of the work culture that hasn’t had any changes for the last 50-60 years. The technology and the efficiency of people have advanced since then. So it is quite reasonable for the workers to be demanding to reduce the number of work hours. Historical insight: Before 1817 people all over the world were working 80-100 hours a week. In 1817 Robert Owen a Welsh manufacturer came up with the idea of dividing the day into three equal parts. “Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest”. The idea didn’t stick in Europe but gained popularity in the States labor unions. It wasn’t until 1926 that five-day 40-hour workweek became common practice in the States with Henry Ford stating that “It is high time to rid ourselves of the notion that leisure for workmen is either lost time or a class privilege.” The workweek duration was officially limited to 40-hours by the US legislature in 1940. The Soviet Union adopted the 48-hour workweek in 1917. There was a period when the government was testing 30-35 hour-workweek between 1964-1967 which was the world’s record at that time. But in 1967 they stopped that initiative and moved to the 41-hour 5-day workweek. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia adopted the standard 40-hour workweek.

I’m so excited to see new jobs emerge as technology develops. Social media is driving a lot of these changes in the labor markets. For example with short videos taking over the world, we are now seeing Reels and Tiktoks script writers, directors and editors. Today I was helping one social media influencer to find jobs in gaming industry and I ran into these job opportunies I didn’t even know existed before. So fun! Hurry up to apply and share them with your fellow game lovers!

Creator economy is at the top of the buzzword chat of the year. As I’m implementing my own consulting services and digital products, I’ve been looking into a few different payments options that I can use. This is how I stumbled upon Gumroad. They are unlike all the other tech companies that I know. They seem to be heading their own way in terms of culture and work processes. In particular, there are three things that made me wanna share them with you: (1) their tag line No meetings, no deadlines, no full-time employees (2) the fact that they standardized pay rates across the globe. (3) The statement that the future of work is not working 🌍🌎🌏 Excited to announce we've deprecated all location-based pay!

I get asked a lot about how to optimize resumes and cover letters for the global tech market. When I started my remote job search back in 2015, I didn't know most of the things I know now and it took me almost 2 years before I landed my first remote jobs in tech. I learned everything the hard way and now it takes me 2 months to find a new remote job. There are a lot of things that make your resume more appealing for global remote companies. A lots of cultural nuances but if I were to recommend a single thing you can do right now to improve your resume it would be the Harvard Resume Guide. https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/files/ocs/files/undergrad_resumes_and_cover_letters.pdf?m=1598037165 To add a little bit more weight to it. This guide and template is used by the Harvard students and it helps them land their first jobs in top tech companies with almost no professional experience other than summer internships. I believe it will definitely help you stand out from the crowd of applicants who don't know about these simple guidelines. Let me know if this was any helpful by commenting this post. You will make my day by doing so!

Last week I recorded a video about company values. Buffer has been preaching tranparency for years and they have taken it to the altimate extreme last year by making their team members' salaries public. And by public, I mean they published every employee's salary online with names and the exact amount. I haven't seen this kind of transparency before. It is definitely setting a precedent for other companies. I can’t stop imagining that their users email customer support team calling the team down for getting paid this much and not solving bugs immediately. https://buffer.com/salaries
