In the past six months, some of the top companies hiring for work-from-anywhere jobs on the platform include Duolingo, Invisible Technologies, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
Work-from-anywhere jobs are increasingly available in marketing, writing, project management, and tech. Meanwhile, communications and bilingual-focused careers are experiencing growth and offering more opportunities.
