My path: * Find a company that already relies on digital communication. Maybe they have a couple different offices, and employees communicate heavily over Slack. A company is unlikely to make this kind of change just for you, and I find it critical to working remotely with a team. * Work for a number of years at a company and do a good job. Become a person they want to retain. * Be an excellent communicator. Don't be the guy/gal who's hard to get ahold of because you're never logged into Slack, or because you check your email only once a day, or because you never answer your phone. * Be upstanding, honest, and forthright. Be self-supervising. Be the person your manager doesn't have to think about, while still knowing you'll do an awesome job. Give them nothing to fear regarding whether you'll continue to do a great job without supervision. * Be slightly underpaid for your market. That last one probably isn't something to seek out, necessarily. But it's a good bit of leverage to use when trying to convince your manager that you should be allowed to work remotely. If you can convince them that letting you work remotely is free for them but a perk for you that's likely to keep you at the company, you've won.
