Growth of Remote Jobs
A recent study released by Forbes Brazil revealed that the number of jobs with six-figure annual dollar salaries increased 20% in the last quarter.
This growth is a reflection of the constant search for specialized talent, especially in areas such as technology, health and engineering.
Highest Paying Professions
According to research conducted by the American job search website Ladders, the highest paying profession in 2024 is that of program manager.
In the United States, this position can offer salaries of over R$80,000 per month, while in Brazil, the average salary for a program manager in São Paulo is R$16,073 per month.
Software Engineers in High Demand
Another prominent profession is that of software engineer, with an average annual salary ranging from R$ 409,352 to R$ 1,063,845.
A FlexJobs, a platform that offers remote work opportunities, places this profession among the ten most sought after for remote work.
General Managers and Senior Software Engineers
In addition to software engineers, senior software engineers also stand out, with an average annual salary between R$ 641,793 and R$ 766,051.
Already the general managers, responsible for managing various operations and departments, have salaries ranging from R$ 442,613 to R$ 594,204 per year.
The Influence of Economics
John Mullinix, marketing director at Ladders, explains that the economic recovery has led companies to expand and invest in new projects, which increases the need for higher-paying roles.
According to Mullinix, with inflation on the rise, companies are adjusting salaries to attract and retain top talent.
Increase in Hybrid Vacancies
A LinkedIn report from August last year showed that while remote opportunities are declining, hybrid positions are increasing.
In the first quarter, work-from-home positions fell slightly, but rose 7% in the second quarter, while hybrid positions grew 40%.
Preference for Home Office
A survey by HR Tech Infojobs with Grupo Top RH in April 2023 revealed that 851% of professionals would change jobs for more days of “home office”.
This shows a clear preference among workers for a more flexible working model.
Companies Hiring Globally
Despite return-to-office policies, many dollar-based companies continue to hire professionals globally on a fully remote basis.
This allows employers to save on office costs and attract talent from around the world.
Tools and Applications to Facilitate Remote Work
To facilitate remote work, there are several applications that can be used, such as TV remote control applications, applications for watching movies on your cell phone and applications for architectural projects.
These technological resources help maintain the productivity and well-being of remote workers.
