— remote work, office hours — 2 min read
UPDATE September, 2019: All slots are taken until the end of October. Sorry.
UPDATE August 29, 2019: I decided to open more time slots in my evening hours. Feel free to grab a time! :)
UPDATE August 27, 2019: I'm pausing the office hours due to the demand. I don't want to go too far in the calendar. I will resume when I finish the calls in this cycle. Thanks for understanding! :)
Today I’m excited to announce my new initiative - Remote Work “Office Hours.” I will be dedicating 2-3 hours every week (20 min time slots) to answer your questions about working remotely as a developer. It’s completely free and aims to help everyone who wants to learn more about remote work.
My name is Tigran, and I’m a software engineer at Buffer. Buffer is a remote company with no office. I’ve been working remotely for almost four years now and learned a lot about remote work. Last year I wrote a popular article where I shared my reflections on being a remote developer. In my free time, I like playing soccer, writing, and working on my side-project.
After writing my article about remote work, I started to receive many emails asking questions about my experience of being a remote developer. I hope I can help and share everything I know and learned about remote work. I know it’s a significant lifestyle change when you decide to work remotely, and I hope to help even a little to ease that decision.
I’m a developer, and I base my remote experience on the type of work I do every day. Knowing what I know, I think I can be the most helpful to people who are in tech and especially developers.
Here is a group of people that I have in mind:
Please introduce yourself first. Like any other “office hours” I expect you to come with your questions and I’ll try to answer them the best I can.
You can grab an available time slot on my Calendly schedule. All calls will be video calls on Zoom. Please make sure you downloaded and installed Zoom prior our calls. The meeting link will be in the calendar invite.
I want to keep it for 20 minutes.
Yes. However, I might have surprise guests on some days.
No. It’s completely free.
