My current job has turned out to be more telecommuting than I expected, but it was not setup as that. The first couple months were all in the office. It evolved over time as the team got used to each other.
I don't know of many companies willing to outright hire telecommuters. Sun did that a lot, but they were an exception, not the rule. Many companies such as Amazon.com where I spent 2 years just don't work that way. There is so much going on that you really need to be there in the office and/or close by. There is a lot of benefit from having developers close together. I live in Cincinnati which has the same problem you have. Not a lot of demand for my skills and the high end jobs are filled or would require many years of working at the company to get into. Looking forward to seeing what other answers pop out of this discussion. On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 9:35 AM, Jan Goyvaerts <java.arti...@gmail.com>wrote: > *Very* interesting question !
