Oh good. I've considered working for Google, I think they work on interesting things, but I've recently adopted the stance that I won't take jobs that don't allow me the freedom to work 100% remotely. I value that freedom too much, and there's many other companies out there that let me do that.

I got an offer from google a few months ago and during team matching several teams were open to allowing me to work remotely. I would recommend making your position clear with your recruiter at the beginning and they can help you find teams that will work for you.

Google now offers fully remote roles. In my org, literally every single application for a transfer to fully remote was accepted.

And, on top of that, office transfers are a thing. Half of my immediate team (including me) have applied to relocate to otherwise random international offices that would better suit our lifestyles, and all got approved.

P.S. Fully remote would have also been an option. It's just not what we've chosen, for various reasons.

> random international offices

Just curious where people chose? Were there any side affects ?

[aix1]

Berlin, Dublin, Zürich. Pay & benefits are adjusted to be in line with anyone else employed by the company at the target office.

Being able to pick a city where one actually wants to live is definitely an upside. Being a remote singleton with no nearby teammates might prove a downside, though in our case I doubt it will be all that significant.

Other than that, ask me again in a year.

Is it really fully remote? Or is it work from home only remote? Can you work from any country you choose?

[UncleMeat]

I am located roughly 3,000 miles from my team and will never return to being within driving distance of any Google office. International is harder because of time zones, but it is an option.

To people like you: Go https://careers.google.com/ and tick "Show all remote-eligible jobs".

[MisterBastahrd]

Yeah, my current stance is that moving on from my current role to an on-site position would require the next employer to compensate me well enough that it wouldn't make sense to even consider side gigs.

heh..like you would get hired

btw Google offers 100% remote.
