I know a couple genuine digital nomads. I try to meet up with them if I'm traveling internationally through their part of the world. It's always interesting to meet at their favorite digital nomad coworking places, because they're always full of digital nomads who are doing anything but working. To be fair, some of the people I've met do legitimate part-time contract work doing things such as managing social media accounts for companies or taking design jobs here and there. However, many of the people I've been introduced to at these places are trying to do some mix of life coaching, affiliate marketing, or creating content and services for other aspiring digital nomads. My experience hiring digital nomads has not been great. Some of them have been quite talented, but when their lifestyle revolves around minimizing their workload every day it becomes very difficult to manage them. I'm sure there digital nomads out there who are also diligent teammates and employees, but on average I'd take a mediocre in-office hire who can put in predictable effort over a digital nomad who is constantly working to minimize their workload so they can travel more.
