The pandemic changed many things in the way we live. One of them was the way we work. Although remote working was already growing worldwide, the pandemic was the main responsible for accelerating this trend. For a long time remote work was restricted to specific areas such as IT, today it is already possible to perform a number of activities online from anywhere in the world.
The time we spent in confinement has shown us that telecommuting is not only possible, but it can also be an beneficial option for Phone Number List companies and employees. This paradigm shift was the impetus that was missing for many people to decide to realize the dream of living in another country without changing jobs.
