Remote  Work

Unlock a BTR work-life balance.

Work from anywhere, everywhere.

When you live and work remotely in Baton Rouge, you get a higher quality of life, a lower cost of living, and a vibrant working culture that celebrates balance. Do your thing — wherever, however, and whenever you want.

  • Accessible Work Spaces
    An "office" can be anything or anywhere when you're working remotely. Log on and settle in at any of the many local coffee shops, co-working spaces, and community gathering spots around town.
  • Get a Break on Your Taxes
    As part of Louisiana's commitment to welcoming talented individuals, the Digital Nomads Exemption gives remote workers an income tax exemption of 50% on their gross wages for up to two years.
  • A Connected Community
    Just because you're working remotely doesn't mean you're alone. Join 30,000+ fellow BTR citizens (and counting!) who've traded a commute for a community.
  • Culture Around Every Corner
    Grab a bite between meetings, send emails from happy hour, or take a meeting in the park. Being untethered in a vibrant southern city gives you access to a host of beautiful, delicious perks.
