> There are a lot of companies that want you to be in Silicon Valley to work for them, but there are quite a few who embrace remote employees (Etsy and 37Signals come to mind). Does it limit your job options? Probably somewhat. In the time I worked remotely, I couldn't help but get the feeling that it also limited your career mobility options as well. Google hangouts or Skype sessions are nice in theory, but when you're in one with a bunch of people across the country who are in the same room together, you miss the subtle quick back and forths with things like body language, as well as the more important ones like actually being able to speak as much as the people actually in the room together (or at all).
