I’m currently job hunting, and it’s a mess. From scam jobs, to these regional or state only remote positions, or traveling on-site within an area, or remote

Often never mentioned in the actual job posting,

I’m not familiar with posting a job on any of the sites, but are there no validity checks? Required fields? Just have an account and throw up stream of conciousness job postings?

Sorry if that came off ranty, it probably kind of is. Either way it’s a huge blind spot.

Same experience. I started tracking the patterns:

Red flags that usually mean "not actually remote":
- "Remote (UK)" in job title
- "Must be eligible to work in UK" (sometimes means residency required)
- "Hybrid" + "flexible" (usually means 2-3 days in office)
- Company is <50 employees and not remote-first

Green flags:
- Explicit "work from anywhere" or timezone range stated
- Async-first companies (Doist, GitLab, etc.)
- Contract/freelance roles
- Companies with distributed teams for 3+ years

Started a spreadsheet with verified positions. Happy to share if it helps.

What was discussed in the townhall today

I had one of those VERY nonproductive days today. I think I accomplished maybe an hour of billable work, even though I had a bunch of stuff to do. I just came off a 300 hour month, and unexpectedly got a continuance on a deadline on Wednesday, and it’s like all of my motivation leeched out of me at once.
