Are you a tech guy?
After "what to do with my things", this is the second question I hear the most as a nomad with a 100% remote job.
Interestingly, it's rooted in our imagination that only the technology field can work remotely.
I am a journalist and an editor for SUMAĆMA's social networks, a journalistic project covering the Amazon rainforest and indigenous issues.
My role can be perfectly performed remotely in another company, as I did during the pandemic.
For this, good communication among team members is essential. In my case, I formed a great partnership with my colleague, a designer, whom I'm in constant contact with. In a future post, I will detail what 100% remote companies need to have. One of the tips is proper onboarding.
With the help of ChatGPT, I'll mention some other fields that can work remotely: graphic designer, copywriter, proofreader, translator, marketing manager, advertiser, financial consultant, accountant, psychologist, image and video editor, private tutor, project manager, illustrator, SEO specialist, data scientist.
The list could go on infinitely. So why do people ask if I'm a tech guy?
The answer could be just the stereotypical nerd look, but it's more than that. The remote revolution started with these professionals.
One of my best friends, who works with Business Intelligence, has been remote for many years, before it was cool. I remember feeling envious of him and seeing him as a stranger outside the norm.
Nowadays, it's increasingly common to meet remote people from many areas.
This newsletter will advocate for a future where a digital nomad no longer needs to answer: "No, I'm not a tech guy".
Have a nice weekend!
