This site recently scrolled by in my TL about remote work: https://www.remoteonly.org/

I’ve been a remote executive managing a remote team with people all over the world for about 10 years now. Some things in that post are accurate, but many are not what happens in practice. A good example is the benefit from fewer interruptions... I’ve found that to be almost 180 degrees wrong. Interruptions, I’ve found, are far more frequent in remote work settings.

@jerry thanks for the info! But I also had I a question since you manage a remote team and are a remote executive: as someone just starting his infosec career, should I put off thinking about remote work until I’m more experienced (~5-10 years)? Or do you see junior/low level analyst positions as part of these remote companies or teams? I currently work in an office but don’t know if it’s a good idea/a possibility as of right now or maybe not. Thanks.

@venya @jerry From my experience, it very much depends on the company. If the team is mostly (>50%) remote, they will have figured out details like efficient communication and onboarding new people that work remotely. If most people are in the office however, you will always be at a significant disadvantage, which is particularly fatal if you aren't very experienced.
