Remote work is hard. But once companies learn it, it's going to add a ton of value. It gives you access to talent globally, reduces your expenses by 40-60%, makes work efficient and helps you move faster.
Every smart investor should push companies to adopt remote work. Pro tips:

Pro tip 1. Over communicate: Assume 0 knowledge of your coworker while discussions and add as much context as you can. Conveying facts is important but explaining the thought process behind it makes it crystal clear. Always try to use public channels vs private chats for work.

Pro tip 2: Sign in/sign off when you start working and do a virtual stand up to share your tasks. Companies trust you with your work, that's why they hired you but they will be insecure by default when you're remote. Make sure you don't put that trust to test.

Pro tip 3: Do virtual agenda less coffee meetings. The time you spend having lunch together or play ping pong naturally builds up relationship and trust. This doesn't happen when you're remote. Make a conscious effort to get to know your colleagues, no one likes working with bot

Pro tip 4: Document everything- the most important thing I sucked at. Documenting thought process, structure, doubts, bugs, workflow, concerns goes a long way in developing a deep understanding with your colleagues and helps to work like a team!

Pro tip 5: Don't tell, show! Use images, gif, screen recordings etc. Would you prefer gif showing how to reproduced a bug or a 10 line explanation about how to do it?
Always think of making life easier for your colleague and optimize their time.

Pro tip 6: There are wonderful tools out there, use them! Tools are your weapons if remote work is the war. Here's the list of my fav tools: @useloom, @monosnap, @Mixmax, @NotionHQ, @Dropbox, @Wunderlist, @1Password, @airtable, @rescuetime, @WorkplacebyFB, @zoom_us
