We know that more and more people are starting new jobs remotely. But how does this affect the onboarding experience?
In times of uncertainty, we tend to become more risk-averse in our decision-making. Despite that, I took a leap of faith and accepted a new senior engineering leadership role at Shopify, just after they had gone to working fully remotely, permanently (what we call, ‘digital by design’). Six months into it, I am pleased to share that it has been an incredibly positive experience for me. I hope that you can leverage some of the factors that made the difference for me to benefit you and/or your team members.
