Nvidia, one of tech's hottest companies, is fine with remote work
Ok, I&#x27;ll bite the bullet: how do you train interns and&#x2F;or junior employees in a fully remote environment?<p>I only have two years of experience so I&#x27;m still super new, but it&#x27;s something I&#x27;m confronted with this, and I just don&#x27;t know how to train people in a fully remote environment. It&#x27;s from little things to catching an intern who doesn&#x27;t know a couple extremely handy shortcuts with tools that they are still learning, to just generally noticing that they&#x27;re struggling and stepping in to give them a hint &#x2F; engage in a discussion, I just love the kind of &quot;hands-on&quot; aspect that you get from working in a non-remote environment. I want to ask my intern (my team is pretty small so we just take one intern at a time), to come 3 days a week at least just to be able to go through training with them like that, I recognise that people don&#x27;t like it but I don&#x27;t know how to do otherwise. I also can&#x27;t help but feel like it helps to integrate the new team member in the team better, whereas a fully remote employee may end up being left out when part of of the team do see each other in office once or twice a week. 
But the prospect of either having a 2h long zoom call to see them act in a step by step manner, or to give them tasks and leave them by themselves until like 3h later to check in and see &quot;ok, so, what&#x27;d you do?  Oh, you got stuck on some dumb problem for 1h?&quot; Feels shitty too. And I can totally understand interns that don&#x27;t dare ask questions on slack for fear of bothering people in case they ask too many. Being able to just turn your head and ask someone next to you or a couple desks down is just so much easier.<p>I don&#x27;t mind people being remote once they&#x27;ve gained a sense of independence, but I feel like I just can&#x27;t do the first 2-4 months with an intern fully remote.<p>How do you guys do it?
