I'm curious about the performance/success of remote-only on-boarding.
If I move to Wyoming, google can lower my salary by 25% because of "market" factors. However, can they replace someone on-boarded on-site for 5 years even at a "Mountain View" rate? I suspect it's a lot harder to integrate "covid" hires into company culture, group norms, and expected performance.
This would leave you with a more random process dependent on how good your interview process is at filtering, or how good your "online" training program is.
- parsley27 6y agoI think the effect of remote-only onboarding will be seen mostly in junior hires, since they do not have much experience in getting up to speed with a company's tech and its culture. As a senior dev about to start a new remote position at a company that's still mostly non-distributed, I'm probably a little more nervous than I've been at previous first days, but I think the bigger risk is that I'm considered a more distant team member if ever there were cutbacks. But I guess that's less of a risk if you can provide unique value in a specialized role.
