The full guide, chapter by chapter.

I share how I moved from mostly on-site work to remote, then offer three ways to pursue remote roles: negotiate one-day-a-week hybrid work, scan permanent and contract listings weekly with AI search, and sometimes move from hybrid to remote. Later chapters cover my interview tactics.

Theory is cheap. This chapter shows what actually happened in my last five contracts: how I found each role, how it was advertised, and how I ended up working remotely.

Compare permanent, umbrella, and limited-company contracts, then weigh a remote rate discount against on-site pay and renewal prospects.

Plan your first 90 days, prepare for renewals, and follow a 30-day application cycle. Start a VAT and tax-residence checklist for work that crosses borders.

Use AI Job Search to find and rank roles weekly, research on-site and hybrid rates from saved adverts, and tailor an honest, role-specific CV from a detailed master CV.

Open at the researched market rate, quote a flexible 15% range, trade a remote discount carefully, and grow your rate by proving value and negotiating after contract renewals are agreed.

Structure a tailored CV with a profile, business-focused achievements, technical skills, experience, and a concise final check.

Set your headline, location, profile, and skills; choose recruiter-only Open to Work visibility and keep your profile current.

Follow a real recruiter conversation from first call to remote work, with notes on what to say, when to show up, and how to let an office requirement fade.

Prepare for the client interview, win trust in the technical discussion, read remote-work signals without negotiating early, and use the offer to decide when to discuss location.

Set up a UK limited company, invoice clients, coordinate VAT with an accountant, and check tax residence, passport or visa limits, and contract terms before working abroad.

Build leverage from day one by delivering well, learning the platform, helping across the team, and responding strategically when an office mandate arrives.

This chapter turns the whole book into a plan you can follow, day by day.
