I work remotely for a 100% remote company. I'm a Sr software engineer, and was hired because I taught one of the co-founders while I was a teacher at a coding bootcamp. We've hired one Jr engineer who I knew personally beforehand (a former student). And we've hired one mid-level engineer whom none of us has ever met in person. My thoughts based on personal anecdotal evidence: - Hit the job boards hard and don't stop. Persistence wins. Here are some great resources[1] - 100% remote companies are the way to go. You don't want to be the sole remote employee (or one of a few) at a mostly on-site company. You'll be a 3rd class citizen. I've seen this numerous times. - It is entirely possible to be a Jr engineer and get successfully integrated into a remote company. We've done it this year. We allocate some extra time for our engineers to further their own learning. We also do lots of screen-sharing sessions, etc. [1] SO remote jobs: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/remote-developer-jobs https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/remote-developer-jobs Hacker News monthly job listings (search in-page for REMOTE): https://hn.algolia.com/?query=who%27s%20hiring&sort=byPopularity&prefix=false&page=0&dateRange=pastMonth&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=who%27s%20hiring&sort=byPopula... https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/
