Week #15: A list of remote companies setting a standard - find out who made the list
Hope everyone is staying safe 💕
Can you believe it’s almost mid-March??! Hello and welcome to week #15 of the Remote Newbie letter 🎉
Each letter, I share 1 article that caught my eye while browsing the web, Twitter, and Reddit. I take the article, dissect it and share takeaways that directly apply to your remote work journey, team, productivity, and more.
If you have any questions specific to your remote/WFH/digital nomad situation, DM me.
This week, I’m sharing a Q&A I did with the talented Emma Lawler who co-founded Moonlight, a community of software developers. Hop into the Q&A below to learn about Emma’s background, her experience with remote work, and how developers can break into working remotely.
Irma: Hi Emma! Can you tell the Remote Newbie community a little about your background?
Emma:Hey Remote Newbies! I co-founded Moonlight, a community of software developers. We help developers and designers find contract and full-time work with remote companies. Before starting Moonlight, I worked at a product designer at startups in Silicon Valley like Fitbit. Throughout my career, I've done remote contract work with startups looking for extra design support.
Irma: Right now you're leading things up at Moonlight. Tell us about who Moonlight is for and what inspired you to start it?
This is a new space dedicated to readers who are interested in tools, tips, and templates to help them build or improve their remote team dynamics.
