I just finished 2 year contract with one of the largest banks in the world. Officially, they don't hire remote developers, but they have absolutely everything necessary including culture around having team members in widely different time zones.
After just a month I was able to convince my manager to allow me working fully remotely and I only showed up in the office about once in a quarter while working 350km away. I could not have been happier but apparently once I reach tenure I would have to be hired and could no longer work remotely.
- kulahan 8y agoCan't have you working remotely - the rules say so! Better to get rid of someone who was productive enough to stick around two years and also has (now) tons of domain knowledge than to keep this already-proven success going.
