Remote Jobs in Pakistan
I am a big proponent of remote jobs in Pakistan.
Remote jobs are the best way to scale, especially within domains of IT and Digital Services.
And I am sure you know about this already. After the pandemic, remote work has been normalized across many industries. Freelancing is on the rise. And companies and employees alike are open to working across globe, more than ever before.
But the issue becomes this –
Where do you even get a remote job?
Well, you have your usual options, LinkedIn for jobs at companies. Fiverr and Upwork for freelancing. And then if you have the skill – building your personal brand and getting work directly (the best option IMO).
But besides these, there are new and upcoming platforms every day. Platforms that are making remote work a possibility for more folks, in more places.
For remote jobs in Pakistan, I would highly suggest checking out my vetted recommendations below. These are the platforms I have personally used and can vouch for when it comes to finding success:
Braintrust is the leading platform for high quality jobs. They have a gated process to let folks in, but once you are in – they have a thriving community of contractors, freelancers, and employees.
I personally manage the ‘Freelancing‘ space in there as well, and actively volunteer folks with upskilling knowledge. Find me in there once you join up.
Braintrust has an excellent referral program as well. For you to spread the network and get more folks involved in a remote future.
Searching for Remote Jobs in Pakistan can be downright impossible at times. Swooped makes it easy by doing the heavy lifting for you.
Swooped is my go to aggregator for all remote jobs, and it has some nice tools to upgrade your Resume and Cover letters as well. It offers excellent filters and a saved profile system to make your application process smooth. LinkedIn Easy Apply, but one which actually works.
Wellfound, formerly known as AngelList Talent – is the go to place for working at new and rising startups. Working at startups is hard, and the job might not have the best stability. But there is no question that if done right, working at a Startup can be what changes your life.
Wellfound has a really in depth job board for startups with filters and information being at the forefront. Especially if you are interested in equity style compensation, this is your best shot.
Engaging in communities can be an excellent way to get opportunities. And some communities are for professionals, through and through.
I have been active within the Bsides Pakistan community for over a year now and can vouch for its lethality when it comes to everything Cyber Security.
Bsides Pakistan is your one stop solution for Cyber Security Jobs and Mentoring in Pakistan, check these folks out.
Have what it takes to land some of the biggest remote opportunities in Pakistan? Then Crossover is for you.
Be warned though, their application process is probably the hardest and most vetted out there. But if you can get in, it is totally worth it.
The best thing is, anyone can apply to most jobs and all you have to do is pass their specific process for the given opportunity. No bars held based on your history or location.
