Outlier is life changing for me, I have a lot more peace and I can work from anywhere whenever I want. I now have time for myself and hobbies without being tired. I could plan to go on a trip and work a couple of hours per day.

Language Specialist, Netherlands
The work itself is fun. I'm learning about such a broad variety of topics because every time you see a task, you learn something new. I just learned some cool Swiss recipes for apple fritters.

I've worked on other platforms, but there is absolutely no support available. At Outlier, you're really getting into an online community.
