I would say as someone who is now fully remote, you really should only work for companies that are "remote first" if you want to stay that way.

- quickthrower2 4y agoI think this is true. Working full remote for a non-full remote first, even if the company is really cool about it, has practical nigglings. The setup won't be as ideal for a remote worker as it could be. The dev environments will assume you are in the office physically, and not be quite as good otherwise. You might need to remote desktop or VPN, so any internet downtime (or even just shit latency) and you are off work. Also culturally ... it will be an office based company still. Whether it be silly jokes about being the one working from home full time, for example, or needing to feel like you have to be there for your career. It can come through in subtle ways. Also things like regular synchronous meetings will prevail.
