Re: Ask HN: Best place to look for remote jobs?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for at the interview stage to determine a company has this mindset? I've seen it after a few weeks at an org but figuring that out earlier would be helpful.

I have a few questions I ask which often tease out the red flags: * What hours did you and your team work in the last month? (anything that indicates long hours are frequent is a red flag, not because long hours are intrinsically bad (though they are), but because it's usually being used as a proxy for measuring productivity). * What is your policy on remote working? Who do you have remote working currently and under…

These are actually quite good.

I never thought about teasing the red flags, but it makes more sense than just asking directly.

You could publish a list somewhere, I think a lot of people would find these valuable.

How did they work for you in practice?

Best/worst reactions to them?
