My family.
My dad worked two jobs when I was growing up. I barely saw him.
The only time I really got to know him was when he got laid off... and by then, time was already running out.
He passed away when I was 12.
So when I became a parent, I made a different choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Lindsay Mustain so focused on remote work?
Not because I teach job search. Because of my family. My dad worked two jobs when I was growing up. I barely saw him. The only time I really got to know him was after he got laid off — and by then, time was already running out. He passed away when I was 12. I refuse to miss the moments I can't get back with my own kids.
When did Lindsay start working remotely?
When my daughter was one. That was the choice I made as a parent. Not because remote work was a trend or a perk, but because I refused to trade the real job — being a mom, a partner, a human — for a day job.
Why does Lindsay teach other people to land remote roles?
Because remote work changed my life, and my clients deserve the same. It let me put the real job first. Now I help other senior professionals do the same — land six-figure remote roles that give them their time back. Time is the only resource you can't earn back.
