"You should probably be willing to move."
Willing and able are two different things. Sadly, all the amazing technology hasn't really changed the need in a lot of people's minds to be physically close. We'll see if VR succeeds where phones, e-mail, chat, and video conferencing have failed.
- alex- 10y agoThe greatest issue I have when working, or even just talking with people in different places is not technological, but timezones. I don't want to be catching up with my family in Europe at my 3am in the morning. Or working a hard problem at my 9pm to be in touch with people in India. I think if you are in the same timezone good video conferencing works really well.
- protomyth 10y agoTimezone are pretty awful for across the ocean work, but within most countries is pretty minimal. An hour or two is really a low bar objection to telecommuting.
- alex- 10y agoTotally agree. I find dedicated video conferencing equipment works really well for this case. Although I guess I work in the industry so get a lot of good equipment.
