Same. I work for a company that is 100% remote. It’s the most productive group I’ve worked with in my career. Also the most senior, so it’s hard to say how much remote work is to credit vs median seniority.
I think the remote-first culture of the company attracts self-managers who value quiet, focused work, and who have relatively good communication skills.
Anyway, I never want to go back to office work after this gig.
- matthewowen 8y agoI don't know that you can separate the two: if you hire remote it's easier to hire more senior engineers.
- hinkley 8y agoHow do you defend hiring a fixer upper halfway across the country when you can get someone just as bad locally? I think though the fact that there’s friction to hiring junior people in a remote office situation should be of concern to us. There is always going to be a fresh batch of recruits and if we lose the ability to train them then who will take up that job, and what lessons will those people focus on?
