I am probably in the minority, but I hate remote teams. I have worked with remote teams in various timezones all my life and it has pretty much destroyed any semblance of love of work that I had. Calls in the mornings, calls in the evenings, lack of white boarding capabilities, not able to quickly tap on the shoulder and ask a question, not able to have team outings or in promptu happy hours etc. has exhausted me. I am now looking for a job with a 100% local team.

- twothamendment 10y agoI'm on a remote dev team in three states, but luckily the same time zone. To me, the timezone issue is much bigger than remote or not. Whiteboard - that is one thing I miss, but I lost that while I was in the office!
- user5994461 10y agoIt's all about the timezone. You can take 4-5 hour difference top, that leaves you an afternoon to work together and talk when you need to. Any link with >8 hour difference is doomed to failure, you can't communicate at all. On top of that, you need to all be extremely experienced and autonomous, and you need to have regular trips to meet in person.
