Finding a true “Remote from Anywhere” role is harder than it looks.<p>Many jobs are labeled “remote,” but the fine print often ties them to a region, a time zone, or specific legal and tax requirements.<p>Here are practical checks that help you spot “remote anywhere” roles faster, and avoid common red flags.<p>1) Read the location line
Start with the simplest signal: is there a geography attached?<p>- “US Remote” “Remote (EU)” “LATAM only” or “Remote within X countries” usually means location restrictions.
- If time zones are listed, that can also imply location limits, even when the role is technically remote.
- Look for explicit language like “Global remote,” “Work from anywhere,” “fully asynchronous,” or “distributed team across multiple countries.” These are not guarantees, but they are stronger indicators.<p>2) Treat salary as a clue<p>Pay ranges can indicate the target hiring market.<p>- A range like $100k to $250k often signals a US-centered market (not always, but often).<p>3) Watch the application form<p>Sometimes the job post is vague, but the ATS form tells the truth:<p>- Questions like “Which time zone can you work in?” can reveal the required overlap.
- If the location dropdown includes only a few regions (e.g., US, Canada, Europe, Other), it often indicates there are specific geographic requirements.
- Red flags that usually indicate US-only hiring include questions about US work authorization, a US tax ID, US-specific benefits or requirements such as Security Clearance.<p>4) Check the company on LinkedIn<p>If a company truly hires globally, you can usually see it in its team.<p>- Review employee locations. Even if LinkedIn shows only a few “top locations,” individual profiles reveal the real spread.
- Search for your profession (e.g., Software Engineer) and check where they actually live.
- If you see people working from India, Asia, Africa or other regions beyond the US and Europe, that is a strong sign the company can hire internationally.<p>5) Compare career pages and external job boards<p>Job descriptions are sometimes more detailed on the company website.<p>- Look for mentions of an asynchronous culture, a multi-national team, or the number of nationalities in the company.
- Check LinkedIn job posts and external job boards. They sometimes include location constraints that are missing from the official posting.<p>Remote anywhere roles exist, but they are a narrower category than most people expect.<p>Companies balance time zone collaboration, employment compliance, payroll, and security requirements.<p>Good luck with your remote job search!
Hi HN, I’m Abrar Nasir Jaffari, co-founder of HackLikeMe. We built an agentic CLI because we were tired of the context-switching between LLM web chats and the terminal when doing DevSecOps work.Most AI coding assistants are just wrappers for file editing. We’ve built 6 specialized agents (Coder, FullStack, Security, DevOps, Plan, Monitor) that have native terminal access.<p>It doesn't just suggest code; it can:<p>Run nmap to audit your local network.<p>Use tshark to analyze packet captures.<p>Manage docker containers and kubectl clusters.<p>The 'Pause to Think' feature: Before it executes a command, it generates a reasoning plan so you can see why it's about to run a specific script."<p>The "Beta" Offer: "We launched yesterday and we're currently in beta. We are giving free Pro access for the first 100 HN users—no credit card required.<p>We’re running on a mix of AWS and GCP (leveraging some credits we just landed), so we’re able to offer some decent compute for the reasoning models during the beta.
Monitor the status of all your coding agents to understand which ones are waiting for your input. Written in rust and relies on tmux
I’ve tried most popular personal finance apps over the last few years, and I always end up quitting.<p>For me, the main reasons are:<p>- Core functionality hidden behind paywalls<p>- UX that feels bloated or optimized for upsells<p>- $100+/year pricing for some<p>- Needing multiple separate tools (budgeting, tracking, investments) with manual syncing and often no decent mobile app<p>I’m starting an open personal finance tool as a side project because I want something I’d actually stick with long-term.<p>Before locking myself into the wrong design, I’d love to hear from others:<p>- Why did you stop using finance apps (if you used any)?<p>- What features are must-haves vs. nice-to-haves?<p>- What made a tool “click” for you — or never click at all?<p>Happy to hear if this feels redundant or already solved better elsewhere.
