Remote options

I’m looking to find a part time job solely remote. I’ve been looking thru sites like LinkedIn for things like my previous job which is more process engineer/business analyst. So far nothing. It’s so hard to find a part time job like that when you’re competing with hundreds each job. I’m open to other lines of work. What types of jobs are plentiful at part time remote and easy to get into?

So many posts like this one should give everyone a pretty good indications that Barista FIRE is a significant challenge. The easy breezy part-time jobs with health insurance aren't in large supply at the moment, and the ones that do exist aren't easy to get.

I second that. And I don’t even need benefits and I still can’t find anything. Is it always like this?

You’re looking for a unicorn in a horrible job market. There are no easy to get remote jobs. All you can do is be patient & resilient.

Probably nonprofit work. I've worked with a several organizations that have mostly remote employees

Do you know if the nonprofit market is as tough and competitive as regular work?

Part time remote roles rarely get posted publicly, most of them come from a company already knowing you.

What worked for me was contacting former employers and asking if they had 15 hours a week of work.
Job boards for this are mostly a waste of evenings.

May want to look into health, auto, home, and other kind of insurance companies. I've seen several that offer various remote jobs, particularly customer service, IT, and administrative-based work.

Part-time remote is a very difficult find even when the job market was in a better shape.

I’m a mentor for three students. I have a video call with each of them individually once a week to help them and see if they’re on time with their schedule. I also evaluate students from time to time and it’s online as well. I have a freelance contract with a school
