You mention that mentoring would be difficult, I have to disagree. Mentoring is mostly about answering questions, pointing to the right direction, reviewing code, etc. IMO, distance is not an obstable to any of these things. Communication is just so easy these days with all the tools available.
- eswangren 14y agoAs someone who has been in this situation, I have to disagree with you. There is simply no replacement for being able speak in person at a moment's notice. Working remotely changes the dynamic of communication entirely. What if I just want to grab a conference room and whiteboard some ideas? Email and IM's are a lackluster alternative. I would never recommend hiring a junior to work remotely.
