I’ve been working remotely for the last 3 years, including for one of the top rememoré-only companies. I’ve also did freelancing sourcing clients on my own and working through a recruiter. One thing which is surprisingly not as oftenly discussed here are other criteria besides pay taken into account when making a choice between remote and non-remote. I’d like to make an argument that remote work works only for a particular use case: when you need to execute on a particular vision with some strict framework of action. You’d need employees who are highly senior (therefore autonomious) and have great communication skills. Probably the main reason why I’m considering to move away from working remotely is the lack of challenging projects. Even though I definitely improved my engineering skills by working on projects and reading up blogs/books, I’d learn much more if I had direct interaction with other engineers which is impossible due to constraints of communication medium in remote context.
