Hi all. I'm an EU med/senior DevOps developer. I currently have a stable job in UKI but I've been considering the possibility of remote working. Reason for this is that for various family reasons I need to relocate for some years on a back-of-beyond place (still in EU though) where there is virtually no job market.

Yet there seem to be a lot of details in it that baffle me (how would I be paid for example and what to do with my residence country tax office). More importantly where is the best place to look for such job ads? I checked some sites that supposedly offer such job ads but they seem more like scum sites (and require payment). Also most jobs I find are US based and seem to apply to US citizens only - I can find very little for EU citizens. Can you point me somewhere to begin with ?

Thanks a million in advance!

PS: I'm not interested in sites like elance. I'm trying to land a normal(ish) job not a peanuts per hour contractor deal. I cannot make a living in EU with the rates going on these sites.
