How to find remote jobs in C# .NET dev in Europe or Asia?

Johny Wye

Hi,

I'm currently employed in the UK but I consider travelling and staying in some other interesting countries. I was looking for websites with remote jobs for C# .NET software developers but I could mostly find jobs in the USA.

I expect that remote work would require staying in the same or similar timezone. What are your thought about finding remote jobs, e.g. living in Czech / Poland and working in the UK / Germany? Or about Asia, living in Cambodia / Laos / Vietnam / Thailand and working in Singapore / South Korea etc.?

Which specialities are more likely to be good career choice for working remotely? I work mostly with core .NET and Oracle/MS SQL technologies (development of libraries that contain complex business logic and are used as background processes, some Windows applications) but I thought about progressing towards web development (ASP.NET MVC) or alternatively financial services (software for hedge funds or investments banks).

Are companies in general considering remote workers? Do you think remote working can be major trend in the near future? Is it likely to convince company to permit full remote work, even if it's not posting job offers of this kind? Any other thought?

Thanks!

Hi Johny,

I think, that you have 2 options: work remote with an outsourcing company or try work on freelance exchanges.

If you already have good reviews at Peopleperhour or Upwork, it will be more easy to start. But another alternant is not bad too - according to N-iX research (https://www.n-ix.com/effectively-outsource-software-development/) outsourcing market will be growing in the next few years, so you definitely have work and good salary.

I suggest working via Upwork. If you will find there 2-3 long-term projects you can easily travel. Also, you can work with the outsourcing company. Often they have remote talents (in a close timezone for their customers, an example). And I attached an image from this blog https://mobilunity.com/blog/how-to-hire-c-developer/ just to give you an idea of a general experience you should have.

I can talk about India and USA. In the USA, remote work is getting more and more popular each day. Jobs like design, web design that is needed for short term and almost remote now. Jobs that requires you to work on some protected ideas are never going to be remote. But in India, most of the work is still onsite.

One way you could find remote work is, get your name out there on communities as an Expert. This is I get lot of projects. Companies and people read my articles and contact me for the work.

Second option will be to contact and have some agencies and agents. They will need a commission but will keep passing you work.

Good luck!
