The Remote Work Hotspot of\u2026 Tulsa?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work out when a city actually pays remote workers to relocate there? Apparently quite well, even when it\u2019s a place that normally would attract close to zero of them. Tulsa, Oklahoma (USA) paid qualified applicants $10,000 to move there and stick around.

The other option is to create your own: fly into a city on a long-haul airline and out on a local budget airline, putting some nights in between the two. This works especially well if the last leg is a budget airline flight in a destination where there\u2019s lots of local competition, such as in Southeast Asia, Europe, Mexico, or Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
