Default Flight Following

Not so much leaving, but wondering if anyone has gone into the flight following game (ie. the operations that work with private business jets, not actual airlines). I'm mainly interested if those sorts of jobs allow working from home and how the general QoL is doing something like that.

Thanks.

There are a couple of players that offer flight planning, flight following, and some other services to business jet operators on a subscription basis. It can be interesting work, though as far as I know you generally aren't able to work from home in these gigs. QOL is reasonably good, though it is shift work in a 24-7 operation.

I suppose some operators might allow their planners/followers to work from home, though I also suppose these are very niche opportunities that will take some effort to find.

Is there any particular board or place to look for flight following jobs? A lot of the usual aviation job sites come up blank for this line of work.
