I have noticed an apparent chicken-and-egg problem in this space of the industry. Increasing numbers of companies want to embrace distributed teams, but they strongly prefer or only consider people who have worked remotely before. That makes it hard both to start out in remote work and to find people to fill your positions.

We've hired both "experienced" remote workers and "inexperienced" remote workers. I noticed that those with little to no experience working remotely are so excited (liberated?) working that way that it almost seem as if they are extra productive.
