Companies are increasingly opening up to the possibility of hiring remotely. It is a huge step forwards for any company to take but sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks so it happens [1]. I've been working remotely for about a year. We have a 10hr difference, talk almost every day, and its been great. It's a small company, only two devs, and we all care a lot about the work we do and the products we release. So, don't limit your search for jobs where relocation is feasible - look for telecommute/remote jobs as well. [1] The main barriers to overcome are trust and communication. Both parties need to really trust each other (one will do the work, the other will pay) and they need to have open and honest discussions. At the end of the day the job needs to get done and the fact that there's no direct face to face interaction between the people involved needs not to be an issue.
