I'm getting back into the job market and curious about remote jobs. I've heard some mixed opinions about their legitimacy, especially with all the fake listings popping up. I'm looking to find trustworthy remote job opportunities, starting locally but still open to broader options. It's been tough to get recent, reliable information since a lot of what's out there is outdated. Any advice on where to look and what to watch out for?

I feel you on this! Many 'remote' jobs I see seem sketchy or aren't really remote. I've noticed some listings that say 'remote only' but not actually work-from-home. Be sure to double-check on company websites and avoid sites that seem dodgy.
Exactly! It's frustrating when the listings don’t match what they're offering.
For sysadmin roles, I'd advise sticking to known company career sites. Set alerts for specific job titles on Indeed and LinkedIn. Be cautious with any job that requires interviews over Telegram or requests gift cards! Keeping a list of legit remote IT companies, like MSPs, is helpful too.
Consider checking Managed Service Providers (MSPs) for remote roles. They often have listings sorted for remote work. Websites like Indeed can help too! Just check the company's career page to confirm the positions.
Right? I was looking earlier and some 'remote' roles just meant you wouldn't be in the main office. Kinda misleading!
