Would this then require you still have to work nearby, or take a costly and time-consuming trip into the office? (I imagine it's not easy for a parent to abandon children just to fly over for a few days to see the office). Would be rather expensive for the company to fly people in and house them in hotels and feed them for seemingly (to me) little benefit :/
- ghaff 4y agoDistributed teams have been getting together semi-regularly at offsites for as long as I've been working--which is to say decades. And while some people are adamantly opposed to travel of any kind, it's the norm for many professional workers, especially at more senior levels.
- jvanderbot 4y agoExpensive to travel relative to what? A developer salary is probably at least 90k, so that's a 1% cost to get someone on site for a few days, all expenses paid. Now look at the big companies, devs make 4x that and don't require any extra accomodations for travel.
