What's the difference between being onsite and working 'remotely' at a coworking space?

  You get to pick 'everything'. Your desk, chair, co-working space, schedule. On-site can be 1-2 hours of commute, while you can find a co-working space in 15 mins of walking distance maybe.

  How many interesting tech employers are based in Whistler? For Whistler, substitute the tropical island, rural idyll, or cheap city you prefer.

    I've been working for my company* for nine years, last two remote. My move was absolutely for lifestyle reasons, and was supported thoroughly by my managers of the day, and my current manager still. What has been interesting to watch though is the culture clash that happened when my employer was acquired by a similar company without a remote workforce, where we'd always had some. My original company has essentially gone away as the office was closed, keeping only remote employees. A few from that city were kept, and too are now remote from the head office thousands of km away. I had the advantage of already being remote, and kept because I provide value. I don't know how likely it is though that new remote employees will get hired. As an ironic twist, the HR director is one of the newly-remote employees without an office base.

  For me it's about 1000 kilometres.
