I am cofounder of my company based in the Bay. I didn't get my US visa and ended up having to leave, but remained in charge of Android product and payment processing (easily isolated but still critical tasks so I could operate async).
I spent 2 years as a digital nomad while fulfilling that role. It was a bumpy ride as our 4-5 person team figured out the logistics and managing expectations and productivity. But now 3 years later, even after I got my US work visa we don't have an office, meet up in coffee shops a few times a week as 2-3 people, and each of us take a month to work remotely from a different city or country regularly for a change of pace at our convenience.
The biggest reason we support remote work is that once we learned how to make it work, not paying office rent and increasing our salaries proportionally was seen as a win-win all around.
- good_vibes 9y agoI'd love to learn more about your journey for inspiration. Do you have a blog? I agree with that outlook and strive to reach that point one day with my side project. Travel, work, save, and serve all at once.
- keerthiko 9y agoNot quite a blog as much as some long-form writing. Writing helped me keep my sanity while I was a nomad, but it is updated much less frequently since I "settled down", as most of my writing happened on airplanes or while waiting in airports :) https://keerthik.github.io/essays/ https://keerthik.github.io/essays/
