Being an introvert is not a strength in remote projects. Remote projects require better communication skills than on-side work.

- wladimir 15y agoIt requires a different kind of (more formal) communication skills though. Of course you need to be able to report your progress, your obstacles, work out requirements, and discuss who is going to do what. This could be through IRC or through Skype or whatever... However it is completely different from an "extraverted team environment" in which you're expected to be social and cheerful about all kinds of unrelated stuff.
