Remote jobs by advertised pay
Listings advertising an hourly ceiling of $100 or more have their own page, sorted by that ceiling. The board can also be sorted by rate, and the rates page and the market report give the medians by field and platform.
Remote jobs by platform
Where the current listings come from. Each platform page explains its screening, who it suits and what its listings advertise.
How this differs from a general remote job board
- Expert work, not everything remote
- The listings are for professionals with a credential or a track record: clinicians, lawyers, engineers, analysts, researchers, linguists. Sidequest does not list every remote job, and does not try to.
- Advertised pay, shown when stated
- A listing that publishes a rate shows it as the platform wrote it. One that does not says so. Nothing is estimated, and not every role pays at the top of the range on this page.
- Several platforms, one board
- Opportunities from platforms including Mercor, micro1, AfterQuery, Turing, Ethos and Handshake AI sit side by side, with a comparison of how each one screens and pays.
- AI training and adjacent expert contracts
- Most of the work is AI evaluation and training: grading model output, writing reference answers, reviewing domain accuracy, on platforms that primarily engage experts as independent contractors. The remote freelance jobs page explains that market for someone new to it; the market report describes it from the same live data; the board lists the roles themselves.
