Our top resources for freelancers

Sometimes the job you really want doesn’t quite exist, and the only way to come up with the perfect life-work situation is to create your own! This is what most of the Remote Work Europe team have done, one way or another - although the boundaries are a lot less distinct than they were.

Today you might find yourself using the qualities and experiences that life and work has brought your way to design your portfolio career, so you call the shots - what you do, where from, for whom, and when. A side hustle to help you bridge your way out of the 9-5, a consulting gig or two alongside a fractional role, or full-time flexibility… The possibilities are endless.

It’s also fascinating to see how many people laid off from full-time employment in recent years are now embracing a more fluid approach to their careers, trading the illusion of stability for a self-directed work/life design, which offers remote freedom on top.
