I just moved to Oahu (Kaneohe) from the mainland, thanks to flexibility of a 100% remote gig. Worth checking out, and if you play your cards right you can get a solid salary to boot. weworktremotely.com, angel list, etc.
Hi bjhoops1, I also moved to Kaneohe (about a year ago). I also have a 100% remote job, so there's no commute into town each day, its nice.
Given a lot commenters seem to be working remotely, what sort of internet speeds are you getting or any other challenges you have run into? I am thinking of potentially working out of Kauai or Hawaii but I am concerned about internet connectivity among other things. Last week I did a speed test from the condo I was staying in Kapaa and got 35/5 mbps which isn't terrible. Right now on the mainland I only get 50/5 mbps…
I don't know about other islands, but on Oahu you can get up to 300 down with Oceanic TWC. I was pleasantly surprised.
Also do you have issues with latency or other network performance issues with the mainland? I have found video chatting and screen sharing to be useful tools when working remotely.
