In my current situation I have the added benefit of being in a close time zone to our team which was in Belarus (who now are in Ukraine and Netherlands). I manage an 8-person devops team and act as liason to our backend and frontend dev teams, as wrll as manage the customer relationship.
Before this job I was an individual contributor getting 3-5 hours of overlap at a company distributed all over the USA.
This afforded me more than enough overlap, extra on-call coverage hours and a solid 4 hours of uninterrupted project time. It is actually a huhe benefit that I get that much uninterrupted project time.
Again, if a company sees value in my skillset and multiple decades of experience then they will have to pay me the salary I want. If not, another one will.
It has been at least a decade sincr I have spent more than 2 weeks per year in-office or worked in a team that wasn’t distributed over 4-10 time zones.
