Pros

flexible time, friendly culture, international background, good payment rate My typical day at work -I'm a Japanese and work for a bilingual project. My typical day at work is quite flexible. I wake up whenever I want (usually around 11 am since I'm a night owl), get some breakfast, and start working just by hitting the project on my laptop. -Usually, a task takes from 1.5 hr to 3 hr, and I, of course, take some rest when I want. No micromanagement at all; I monitor my time spent by myself and simply can report it later. If there are many tasks available, I work until midnight, but it's not mandatory; I can choose not to work with no internal messages, anytime. The most enjoyable part of the job -Honestly speaking, usually this kind of job doesn't pay a lot, but DA gives a really good rate of payment. It's for sure above average in Japan, double or maybe triple of it. Financial freedom is guaranteed if you have skills. -Additionally, tasks are interesting enough to engage. It's not a boring, simple clicking task.

Cons

no assuarance for the future jobs The hardest part of the job -I don't know the future amount of work at all, so I can't count on it. It's not like a yearly contract, or so, at least for my position, so I have to manage my finances carefully, even if I get a high payment in a month. The next month, there might be no jobs! (although I hope and assume there will be, in this hot AI industry)

Pros

Well-paid remote work with incredibly flexible hours. Variety of projects and work at times, and the pay is great for what it is.

Cons

The company doesn't communicate well with it's employees, and can fire you or stop giving you projects on a whim without explanation. The project's aren't consistent sometimes, and you have to put in some unpaid (or poorly paid) time doing qualifications to work your way up to better work.
