How to Get a Remote Tech Job
Frida Chacin Kulak - 2022-08-17
Remote work is here to stay: after being forced to work from home in 2020, it seems we’ve sort of realized it’s actually fine to skip the commute and join the company meeting from the comfort of your sofa. Or is it? While remote work certainly sounds easy and laid-back, it’s not just about remembering to unmute yourself on the Zoom call: remote brings its own challenges, and if you’re aiming to get hired for a remote or hybrid role, you have to get comfortable with it, and show you’re capable of giving your best in an online environment and aligning with the company and with your coworkers.

(A reasonable question that every 12-year-old kid needs have answered to go on about life.) It did not make sense to me how something a quarter as small in size could be in fact be several times larger in data storage capacity.

Badi now is on TV with a spot and the app was developed by Alberto Betalla, ex-Lead Instructor at Ironhack Barcelona, and two Ironhackers, David Santos and Oriol Bellido.
