Is high-paying remote work really declining in 2024?

Contrary to popular opinion, the job board, Indeed.com, believes this is not the case. In its recent analysis of remote jobs from its Remote Job Tracker , Indeed noted that the share of job postings that advertize remote and/or hybrid work is actually leveling off at close to 8%, which is about three times higher than the share of remote job availability in 2019, despite the efforts of some employers to urge and mandate workers to RTO (return to office).

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024, how to find these high-paying remote jobs.

So, what steps can you take to find these remote jobs?

According to Indeed career advisors, they suggest you take following steps:

  • Research your industry: Some industries they note, such as IT and tech, marketing, and accounting, are much more likely to have remote roles. If you work in one of these sectors, you stand a better chance of securing a remote job. If not, you might want to re-evaluate your career position and assess whether it would be a wise move to make a career pivot so that you are better aligned with remote work opportunities. Of course, this decision would only be sensible to you if remote work was a greater priority for you in your employment considerations than any other factor.
  • Use remote job boards: Of course, there are quite a few job boards dedicated to remote and flexible jobs, such as FlexJobs and WeWorkRemotely, and there are other traditional job boards such as LinkedIn and Indeed that have filters you can apply to find remote work as well. Just a note of caution: always bear in mind that many job boards serve aggregated data on job listings that are posted elsewhere as well, and are not responsible for the safety or legitimacy of these jobs. Sites such as Indeed do share guidance on how to protect yourself from fake or scam jobs; however it is up to you to be mindful of this when approaching any job platform, and bear in mind that there are some criminals who will play on the fact that you and many others are looking for remote work, just to obtain your personal or financial information. Look out for any red flags, such as jobs that sound too good to be true, obvious spelling mistakes, or the company simply cannot be found existing anywhere on the internet.
  • Edit your resume: Highlight your independent work skills, your background in working remotely or in a hybrid model, and tailor your resume for each remote job you apply to.

Additionally, you should consider:

  • What type of remote job works best for you, whether you want a full-time, hybrid, or freelance remote job.
  • Preparing your physical space, tech set-up, and common interview questions for remote job interviews .
  • Weighing up both the pros and cons of remote work, such as increased flexibility and reduced commuting, versus loneliness and self-paced schedule management, and decide if this is something you are happy to put up with for the long-term.

When applying for a remote job, always ensure that your physical space and internet speed is set up ... [+] to successfully accommodate everything from your remote interview to the day-to-day demands of the role

Following these steps, and looking out for these opportunities within the tech, marketing, app development, and other remote-first industries will enable you to be better aligned to secure your dream remote job—even sooner than you imagined was possible.
