That's an inspiring story! I'd love to know how you made the transition to remote work? Do you think there is a threshold of experience below which securing remote work is just not feasible?
I really lucked into my situation. It wasn't originally part of my plan to work remotely but I got recommended for a role with a team who all worked remotely. At the time I wasn't looking for work but the salary was the same and the chance to work remotely and travel while working was too great to pass up.
The team and role ended up to be fantastic and it really helped my transition as they all had experience working remotely so they could share tips for when I lost productivity.
I do think that working in a team for at least a year or two before switching to working remotely would be very beneficial as I think you can learn so much quicker from those around you. Remote teams can be great but for that 2 seconds of help from a more experienced team member, nothing can compete with being in the same room.
