It’s a buyers market out there in remoteland folks! More and more companies are going remote, so the tides have turned and now YOU have more control and power when it comes to snagging that remote job. Kim and Jeff have a conversation about this new world when it comes to remote work, how it applies to you, and how to set yourself up to win.

It's not the unicorn it once was so cheers to salaries for remote customer facing roles increasing in the future! Hopefully more companies don't adopt the Facebook plan of decreasing your salary based on where you live.

We go outside the box a little this episode, to address the incident that happened in Washington D.C. during the first week of January, 2021. Then again, when you hear what Kim and Jeff have to say, you might not think it's outside the box at all as it relates to remote work and the impact outside influences can have on what we do.
