Ha. That's a good one.
Employers appear to want you to be in at least a somewhat similar time zone as their core team and have some prior experience working remotely.
Take this hypothetical person living in the sticks. 3.5 years of experience doing local development. No prior remote experience -> not given the time of day by remote shops -> can't get remote experience.
- jasonkester 10y agoAs I said, it makes me sad. Because you're wrong. You've internalized this as though it were a fact, so you don't even try. And the only one it hurts is you.
- lj3 10y agoYou're assuming every developer is a "good" developer. The top 10% could probably find remote work, but the rest of us are stuck with what we can get. I've been trying to go that route for 3 years now and I'm at the point where I have to get a 'real job' to make ends meet.
- in_the_sticks 10y agoNowhere did I say I don't try. I do try. And in the rare instance that I receive a response, what does it say? Exactly what I said in my post.
