If you’re looking to pursue the Silicon Valley dream without relocating to California, we’d recommend prioritizing companies that hold flexible work as a core value.
For example, Microsoft actively promotes flexible work models, and leverages its own 365 Workplace technology to empower employees to work in a way that suits them. While the company currently operates on a hybrid model, workers can adjust their schedule based on their needs and project requirements. The Washington based company also consistently hires more fully-remote workers than Apple, with tech leader advertising for 417 WFH-friendly positions this month alone.
Music streaming giant Spotify has an even more liberal stance on remote work, with the company allowing its 8.300 strong workforce to work from anywhere they want, whether that be at home, the office or anywhere in between. Similarly, online rental marketplace Airbnb is also remote friendly, offering its employees the chance to work from anywhere in the world.
This is really just scraping the surface though. If you’re intent in finding a job that’s on board with you working from the comfort of your own home – or even overseas – check out our full guide to the best companies with work from anywhere policies in 2024.
