Remote work is one of those Roman ideas that I just can&#x27;t bring myself to be interested enough in to try. Sit at home all day with nobody but the cat for company while everyone else is at work &#x2F; school? Give me a regular desk and let me see my coworkers in person every day.<p>Besides, from what I&#x27;ve gathered from the job postings here, SV startups mostly don&#x27;t hire remote workers. You&#x27;re expected to move to Rome.<p>Local startups offer substandard salaries, the very real proposition that your company will run out of money, and inevitable reticence on the part of the founders to clue you in as to how the company is really doing. No thanks.
