How to spot great remote jobs: The Joel test for remote work
Andre Schweighofer
The Joel test is a 12 question test to assess the quality of a software team. It was created by Joel Spolsky, co-creator of Stackoverflow. The Joel test works so well because the questions prompt easy yes/no answers and at the end you get a better understanding of your team. Let’s try to find a set of questions we can use to identify real remote first companies and great remote jobs in general.
Even the highest-paid interns hate remote work
Cassie Werber | Quartz
After the pandemic hit, remote work was discussed frequently in Glassdoor reviews by all types of workers, interns included, but intern sentiment about remote work was much more negative than that among other employees. Interns also talked about it more. By the summer of 2021, 70% of interns who talked about remote work in their reviews did so in negative terms.
Job Hunting While Day-Jobbing
Maia McCormick
Interviewing is stressful enough, but interviewing while doing your day job? Yikes!
Well, I just did it, and I’m here to tell you that it’s totally doable! In this post, I share my thoughts on interview prep, minimizing day job disruptions, keeping up appearances at work, etc.
To nomads that are single and 30 or over, what’s your plan?
Jgib5328 | Reddit
I’m a 33 yo single Digital Nomad and really, really love my lifestyle. I’ve been nomading since the pandemic started and have gotten experiences that I always wanted, but at the back of my mind, I keep thinking that the window for a more “traditional” life is closing, i.e, wife and kids.
Google and Apple are wrong: Hybrid and remote work won’t keep employees from building ‘social capital’
Gleb Tsipursky | Fortune
What forward-looking companies are discovering is that hybrid and even fully remote work arrangements don’t automatically lead to losing social capital.
However, you do lose social capital if you try to shoehorn traditional, office-centric methods of collaboration into hybrid and remote work.
Has remote work made you procrastinate more?
johndavid9991 | Hacker News
Over the last two years, I have been working remotely, and I am finding myself stuck in the same place and unable to kick-start my life. I always feel overwhelmed, and basically, I don’t have the energy and excitement to do the things I should do in life.
Have you or anyone you knew encountered this challenge during this pandemic? How did they recover or win over procrastination?
You’re muted — or are you? Videoconferencing apps may listen even when mic is off
Jason Daley | UW-Madison News
They found that all of the apps they tested occasionally gather raw audio data while mute is activated, with one popular app gathering information and delivering data to its server at the same rate regardless of whether the microphone is muted or not.
The flexibility people want most isn't remote work. It's to set their own hours.
