Most people are going to tell you that you should work in-house before moving to remote. Maybe I'm an outlier, but I'm self taught and have worked remotely from the very beginning. I took a slightly different approach though. For the first year or so, I spent my time working small freelance jobs that paid terribly but built up my resume and portfolio.

So should you work in-house somewhere when you first start out? Maybe. Is it possible to work remote right from the get go? I'm proof that it's possible, however anecdotal it is. So take my example with a grain of sand, but also remember that just because someone on the internet tells you to walk a certain path, doesn't mean that's the right path for you.

Good luck man.
