TODAYS EDITION SLIMER GETS FUCKED IN VEGAS!! https://www.youtube.com/user/l0de/live CALL 315-505-4666 okmrtq: mindspillage pcoombe JamesR ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ [22:38:58] Hi! I often see in wikimedia job offering some posts that are Remote. Are they really remote (any where from the world)? [22:40:08] bam_: [not an official response] - in general yes [22:40:38] you'll probably have some trouble if you live somewhere that the US has an embargo against, but otherwise pretty much anywhere provided you have an internet connection [22:40:50] bam_: For example, everyone on the team I work on lives in a different country [22:41:34] Ok. I am from the DRC and intersting in this https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/959657#.WlKcoq1yjrc [22:42:08] Unfortunatly I cannot see the deadline of the offer [22:42:25] I'd encourage you to apply if you are interested [22:42:46] Probably they are keeping the job add up until they find someone to hire [22:42:53] Thank you for your answer, bawolff [22:43:30] I do know that some teams prefer the more junior positions ("intern") to be local. I'm not sure if that's the case for Learning and eval (I'm more familar with the engineering department) [22:43:45] In any case, worse they can do is say no :) [22:44:33] Ok, I'd try [22:45:43] bawolff: I think you've experience with the foundation, how do they work remotely exactly> [22:45:48] ? [22:46:12] It varries quite signficantly depending on which team your on, and the type of work you do [22:46:22] But for me at least [22:46:33] we have a weekly team meeting over google hangout [22:46:42] and we also communicate regularly over email [22:47:15] My job has a lot of independent work in it. If you're doing something that involves closely working with others, the workflow would probably be different [22:47:35] We also talk over irc quite a bit [22:48:05] what about hours, ie you live in counties with differents time zones [22:49:36] I have a total number of hours to do in a week, and I can do them whenever I want (except for the occasional meeting. But meetings are usually agreed on in such a way that the time is not too terrible for any of the participants) [22:50:39] again, that's going to vary depending on the type of work you do, and how closely you have to collaborate with other people [22:50:57] I can see that it is a bit flexible. That what exactly I want. [22:51:41] e.g. A couple weeks ago I had trouble sleeping and did a bunch of work at 2 am in the morning [22:53:11] Thx again for your time. I'll try this offer [22:54:53] Good luck :)
