#3I really enjoyed it. My first year fully remote. It's been quite the change and while I will leave this job at the end of the month I think it's been a great experience.

Congrats on your first year fully remote! I was thinking of switching remote as well.
Did you encounter any challenges that you normally wouldn't have? If I may ask, why are you leaving it?

#5Went from a start up with a garbage fire app chasing VC money to sell the last of their dignity to the world of big business working on real software; so 50-50 on terrible soul crushing experience and fantastic year.

That is something now, hard to beat that.

I crave a bit more of freedom of travelling and I will try and focus on some personal projects. At least for a while and if I see it's not working I'll go back to a "proper" job.
I haven't found many challenges other than taxes and stuff like that. Many countries I find are not ready to welcome people that move around a lot.
As for the job itself I keep a pretty strict regime on myself so I still try to do all office hours and keep in touch as much as I can. It is true tho that you do get "cut out" a bit and it's probably not the best for people that want to climb the ladder. For me it really helped the fact that I worked for a full year in the office with the same people so I knew them pretty well.

That sounds very cool, thanks for the answer. Enjoy your adventures in 2018!

#9In the beginning, it was nice.
In the middle, it came with some interesting career changes and challenges. It was a good personal experience, but ultimately it didnt work for the company.
In the end, we changed management and it -might- be good for the company depending on what the new owner wants with it. But people are fired en masse, and people are quitting en masse. Project management sucks, we didnt have things to do for months and around both christmas AND new years, we got 2 supposedly CRITICAL issues that HAVE to be done. Except not really.
Looking forward to 2018. Mostly because I'll be looking at new opportunities.

You had the whole spectrum throughout the year. It is interesting how a company can change from great to complete opposite in a year time.
It reminds me a bit on my 2016, I left eventually after one more merger happened, it was hard to follow which companies joined ours, which systems are going to be ditched and so on.
