ya .. my zoom is giving me issues

Let me restart my machine

Can't join today, have a good call

Missed todays call, forgot to check time

@tall-postman-9284 you can join now

What did we discuss in today’s call * There are tradeoffs involved in choosing a base, so it’s wise to start with journaling some thoughts on why you’d want to move away from your current location * Tier 2 cities could be a sweet spot considering they have the best of the big cities without being too expensive or populated * For specific details about places feel free to DM @crooked-daybreak-310 on Shimla, @calm-grass-85557 on Dharamshala, @delightful-honey-19906 on Mysore and Hassan, and @chilly-london-28602 on Goa

Thanks everyone for joining in 🙂

Have a good weekend everyone 🙌🏼

catching up in Delhi

No polls for the TIGF meetup this weekend ?

Hey Samir, this week I am choosing to skip the Friday call because of work. Hope that’s cool.

I am happy to help if somebody wants to take the mantle of moderating the discussion 🙂

that’s a sad news. I’m not sure if I would be able to moderate at this moment, but would really be looking forward to it in future. Keep up the good work @calm-grass-85557

I’m sure there are folks here interested to moderate the TGIF Call.

some good insights from vacation point of view. Anyone explored remote working exepreince there ?

Quick question. What mouse are you folks using?

I used to buy a basic wired Logitech Mouse M100r (400 odd bucks - https://amzn.to/2FDGzsl) First one lasted me 15 months. Bought a new one — second one lasted me about 12 months. Both had similar issue of losing connectivity with machine and I would need to replug the USB which is a pain. Finally thought of getting a higher level of mouse hoping it would last me atleast a few years. Got a Logitech Gaming mouse (even though I don’t game) — G102 (for about Rs. 1600 odd - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01MYPU20Z) Have been having a major single click -> logs as double click issue (seems to be quite common) — 10 months into it 😞 Looking for a new mouse again. Any suggestions? I work from home - so have a proper desk setup and would prefer a wired / large mouse (not the travel / laptop kinds)

Hey guys, I had come across a channel called ResumeReview on the WeWorkRemotely Slack workspace Was wondering if we should set up some thing like that for resumes and portfolios or even projects, blog posts etc I think the value proposition will be a defined safe space where people can share their perspectives on other's resume and get feedback on their own resume's as well ... Normally we are all too close to the problem to see the issue in the first place

Where are you investing the additional time (and money sometimes) that you save by working remotely?

Just curious to see what everyone hopes to achieve in a couple of years of working remotely with the bonus time?

Folks if you have bandwidth and are looking for a project to sink your teeth into, look no further https://remoteindian.slack.com/archives/CJDUY3EKV/p1561817097012700

Also there are other ideas being discussed on #makers channel. Some good projects being built by @tall-postman-9284 , @blue-australia-25873. I see a lot of scope for collaborations in this community especially with all the free time we get by working remotely. For folks who are trying to get into remote work, building side projects is a great way to build reputation/leverage to land your dream job

Anyone else feel the same 🤔

I have my first remote job interview soon. What should I answer to "How much salary am I expecting"? If this would have been Indian company I would be expecting pay as per our market, but after some research I found that average remote developer jobs starts from 50k USD. So should I quote that? To give you context it is for role of full stack developer, and I have 5 years of experience. Any thoughts? TIA

This poll is closed. @calm-grass-85557 has a poll for you!

Since the workspace has limitations on number of messages, is there any way here to track old threads, so that we don’t keep asking the same questions again and again ? Because I think we should let the important threads and resources loos on limited workspace. This could be a treasure on long run.

For example, I want to refresh the discussions on the taxations that happened sometime back, but I have not kept any notes at my own level.

Have a good day everyone 🙂

@some-crowd-70690 recommended https://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-mr200-ac750-router/p/itmew2g6fp7xhp5c to me. Looks to be a good investment. Has anyone bought a similar router which uses 4G sim and found joy 🤔

Hey folks! Looking for SMS Gateway recommendations in India for transactional messages. If you have used any which have good API access, please recommend. +100 for Zapier integration. Thanks 🙏

Easy Q? I relax. Take a nap. Watch a movie.

Naps sound good but not possible for me. I generally either end up reading some stuff (my pile of to-read books is always increasing) or watching a few TV shows (The Office (US), Seinfeld, 30 Rock are my go-to shows)
