Looking for a change in work and would love suggestions on how to find jobs with understanding bosses and/or odd hours. I can always get my work done, but I tend to put in bizarre hours for my own projects due to the ebb/flow of chronic pain.

For me personally, I would prefer to work 16 hours on my good days and 0 hours on the days I can barely see straight because of migraine-level pain in my neck and back.

I’m currently working in San Francisco and have major issues getting to/from work without my entire day being focused on work-related travel (not to mention spending all of my time at home recuperating for the next work day)

I would take a massive pay cut to have a job from home with an understanding boss. Country is entirely irrelevant to me if they speak English and accept foreigners; otherwise, I know 2nd-grade-level Spanish, German, and French.

  • Is going through a recruiter a good idea?
  • Would there be any agencies that work specifically with disabled workers?
  • If not, what are good websites for actually getting call-backs on dev jobs?

I have all of the requirements for a home gig (desk, monitors, multiple computers, home server, webcam, etc), is there a way to subtly express that to a potential hiring manger?

    My company would be conducive to this. What kind of dev are you? We are not hiring right now but I can pass your resume along if it’s a fit. We’re tiny so it won’t just get lost in the shuffle
