Are fully remote ‘work from anywhere’ legal roles still out there? curious whether it’s still possible to find fully remote roles that genuinely allow you to live anywhere, even if only for part of the year. I understand there can be tax or employment constraints if you stay in another country too long, but I’d be happy with the flexibility to work abroad for a few months at a time. do these types of roles still exist, or are most “remote” jobs now tied to specific locations?

They still exist. Most are in-house. I've been looking for 2 months now and can't even land any interviews. I have put together a list of over 200 companies that offer fully remote, so they are out there, just extremely tough competition!

I’ve seen remote from anywhere in the US or remote from anywhere in the contiguous 48 but I haven’t seen many remote from anywhere positions. I need asynchronous ideally because I currently live in CA but am looking to move to Spain this year. I’ve been actively applying for about 3 weeks. No interviews yet.

Best of luck on your journey
