We didn&#x27;t get hired &quot;as a team&quot; but I started a gig about a year ago and during the interview process we talked about other types of roles they were hiring for.  One was a perfect fit for a buddy of mine so we had a quick discussion about the benefits of hiring us both.  It&#x27;s a remote gig but my buddy and I are local to each other and have worked well together on previous projects.  They wound up hiring us both but put us on separate teams.  I felt they really missed out on having the two of us mesh well right off the bat with little social ramp up.  They never explained why they split us up, so I can&#x27;t begin to speculate.
