Earlier quoted context omitted.

While is it true that the tools exist to collaborate equally well online vs. in person, the culture of an organization also needs to support it. It is nearly impossible to just throw a new toolkit at a company and expect them to be able to thereby switch from an in person culture to a remote one. It requires a transition of culture, which in turn requires both vision and support of the switch from the leadership of a…

Yes, I completely agree and didn't mean to imply otherwise. Working remotely is a skill unto itself like any other and it must be developed and honed across an organization. I guess what frustrates me is so few people see a need to develop and hone that skill. Some even actively argue against doing so.

Another aspect to consider is that given the sensitive nature of our work and access to what is often crown-jewel intellectual property, we have several clients who require we work from their offices. They are sometimes unwilling to cover travel costs. With a more geographically distributed base of employees we'd either have to eat the costs of bringing someone remote in for these projects, or rely more heavily on the now smaller subset of our staff that is present in these geographies. Neither is a desirable scenario.

Most of us like working in an office close to home, and don't like traveling a lot. It works for us.

Visidraft (www.visidraft.com). Contact me directly and mention you saw us on HN: Andrew@visidraft.com We are leading the revolution in Architectural, Engineering and Construction (A/E/C) Sales, Project Management and Design by fusing 3D CAD with Augmented Reality. Our team is small (CTO, CEO, three contractors) and we need to expand! Headquartered in Cheverly, MD (1 Mi from D.C.) we are hiring part time with the poss…

This is a serious question: are your salaries competitive for that area? Your lead iOS engineers make far less than most staff (entry level) iOS engineers in SF. I ask because my wife and I are thinking of possibly moving to Virginia in a year or so.

Based on the market data we have access to [1] and the other startups we talk with our salaries are in the average range.

This area is kind of hurting for mobile talent, but the funding landscape isn't good enough to allow for startups to push SV level salaries unfortunately.
