While reviewing the news this morning, I stumbled across the following article from Forbes Magazine, which I found here. This could be an interesting perspective for our readers who would love to travel the world but have yet to retire and still need to earn a living, often referred to as a “digital nomad.”
Nowadays, many companies allow staff to work from home, with many that don’t require even an occasional visit to the corporate office. Remote work can be financially rewarding and fulfilling, especially when traveling the world.
10 Remote Jobs That Pay You $100,000+ To Travel In 2024
Yes, they really do exist. There are at least hundreds of employers who are actively breaking down barriers (usually start-ups and tech-focused companies) and hiring team members from all over the globe, allowing them to live and work where they please, so long as they get the job done.
If that sounds too good to be true, consider these two current job listings as examples and the hiring values of the companies who have listed them:
1. Remote Account Executive At Float
This role covers the American and APAC (Asia-Pacific) region and pays up to $150,000, including OTE (on-target earnings). The company boasts team members from around the world, from Canada, to Nigeria, to the U.S., to Australia. What’s unique about Float is their hiring ethos: they detail all the requirements and experience needed for the role and set your expectations for what you will be doing/learning in your first few months of the job. The listing then details what to expect as you progress and take on more responsibility.
Another unique aspect that sets this employer apart so far as hiring is concerned is that they showcase a video within the listing of the hiring manager discussing the role and why it is needed. This is good for two reasons:
First, it makes the hiring manager more relatable. You can put a face to the name, as it were, and it disarms you as he appears to be friendly and relaxed. This is excellent preparation for your job interview, should you be successful.
This reinforces this lesson: When applying for a remote job, seek transparency. The more a company shouts about its remote work policies from the rooftops, the better for your peace of mind.
2. Remote Full Stack Engineer At LightDash
LightDash is an open-source tech company that is remote-first. “We’re fully remote from anywhere +/—3 hours from UK time,” their website says. Additionally, to ensure that their next exceptional talent is not deterred from applying for their roles, they state that they are open to suggestions from outside these time zones.
The company touts multiple benefits in addition to its work-from-anywhere policy, such as equity, unlimited PTO (with 28 days mandated at the very least), and a learning and development budget to help you progress your career.
Regarding pay, the salary for their full-stack engineer role is set at £110,000 (in GBP), which is roughly the equivalent of $140,000 in USD.
Companies like LightDash are role models in terms of their hiring policies because they are keen to include benefits that truly matter to most employees—such as working from any location, career progression and learning, and well-being through unlimited PTO.
10 Remote Jobs That Pay You $100,000+ To Travel In 2024
Have you ever dreamed of getting paid to travel?
It’s actually not a far-fetched idea. Many jobs, from freelancing to working as a company employee, are hiring right now (at the time of writing) and pay you a six-figure salary to explore the world on your own terms while delivering quality work from your location.
This is the essence of what it means to be a digital nomad.
Perhaps the question, “Ever dreamed of getting paid to travel?” should be rephrased to, “Ever heard of work-from-anywhere companies?”
