#34Easy: recruiter asked me if I wanted to work remote. I said writing go and working remote and getting paid bay area comp sounds good.

#39Strangely. I was looking, applying and interviewing everywhere (even HN's Who's Hiring).. And then I overheard some office talk about a coworker who met with his friends that worked at XYZ company, who is not exactly a competitor but in the same space. So I looked up the company, applied, and got a job there.
