To me it just seems like they make money off of these companies, and, as a quid pro quo, put up a website calling them "top". Nothing much to see there.


Well... not making too much money yet :) I'm building this alone as a side project while working on my remote developer job full time.

But calling them "top". Yeah, not a competition or anything. Just for fun, really.


Yea, I was actually expecting and hoping to see some sort of actual statistics about remote work, not a score-board for companies to boast on about how wide they've spread.


Good point. What kind of stats would be interesting? I'm thinking about doing some questionnaire with remote companies on my site.

I've started with "interviews". Basically a list of questions remote companies can answer. Not too many yet, but some: https://remotehub.io/remote-work


How about questionnaires for remote workers?

It'd be interesting to know more about why and how people ended up working remote, how it impacts their lives, how it impacts their job search, how it impacts their day-to-day work, what kind of sacrifice (if any) was required to go remote, what sort of experience did they have to start with, etc.


Cool, thanks. Also curious how people end up working remote. Maybe they read about how cool remote work is (haha ok there are downsides too) and then they ask their employer to allow remote or find a new job.

Anyways, Buffer did a nice report: https://buffer.com/state-of-remote-work-2019

and they are working on new one together with Angel List (maybe more).
