Any advice on meeting remote colleagues for the first time at an event? Feeling super insecure about in person interactions after 2 plus years working remote and forgot what working in person even feels like. What do I do with my hands? It is seriously giving me a ton of anxiety thinking that I will be awkward AF since I’ve never met these people IRL and I need to come off confident etc

Omg I had the same thought...look, I wouldn't worry. Just smile, have some small talk/icebreaker questions read and try to join smaller groups. I usually gesticulate a lot so hand gestures are kinda a thing for me when talking lol...but I usually get a drink or something to calm myself down (and have something to hold so I'm not gesturing wildly lol!)

Get a drink from the bar so you have something to do with your hands. Ask about any personal anecdotes you've discussed in virtual meetings, and joke about something work-related so everyone can get involved. Be yourself! While it might be awkward to meet for the first time, technically you already know these people.

Ahhh I feel this. Its always interesting meeting people who you have seen online in person. Just be confident and be yourself. Things will be totally fine.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

I’m interviewing at Slack and the recruiter is fantastic.

I’m thinking of saying that I would like 15% higher but would also love to get an idea of what the salary range for a L6 or L7 marketer at Slack would be just to see if my expectations are in line.
