Started with a bang - will have to re-install Windows because of the latest update 😂

If you count drinking beer as a sport, I could be competing for a championship 🍻 I used to play Football and Basketball, but my crew is all over Europe right now so we don't have enough people to play. Deffo, I'd go for Football, Futsal, Basketball, and Tennis, and yeah... ice cold beer

I'm highly dependent on extensions, which is the main reason why I still use Chrome. This deal sounds cool, but I'd need to wait for some extensions to expand on Firefox and to check full feature list once they release the paid subscription

I was 6 years old when I got my Pentium III with Windows 98. I was playing GTA 1 like a maniac 😂😂 I still got it packed in a box and it's somewhere on the attic in our house.

Platforms like Upwork are known for lower payments (I've worked on Upwork and I did work for a lower salary as I didn't see myself as a full-time freelancer). On the other hand, it's a good place to start and to get some experience because there are a lot of jobs where you can apply and get your first experience. Maybe my mistake was to start instantly to work remote with no prior corporate job, but I decided that I would never want to work in a corporation which is lacking organization culture, which is the majority of companies, sadly.

Firstly, I started as a freelancer and I really enjoyed working whenever I want, wherever I want. Before I joined Hashnode, I had a terrible experience while I was applying for one big company in my town where I saw how the state actually is and decided to start my own remote career. So far, I can only say that it is truly awesome. I find myself more productive, happier, motivated... basically, I found my dream job. There are tons of groups on Facebook where you can search for jobs, such as: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551143451596432/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1260063160725901/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/827012854123588/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1176956578995726/ and many more. Also, you have platforms such as Upwork and PeoplePerHour. Even tho they are oriented towards freelancers, around 20% of all the jobs are full time (minimum). I've been a part of a local coworking space, where we have remote workers and I've been on regional conferences with over 600 delegates from coworking spaces and everyone agrees that this is the future. By the latest trends, corporations are making creative spaces and giving more "home-office days" to employees because they seem happier and more productive. Jump on our band-wagon as soon as possible 😎 P.S. Here is the list of 900+ startups hiring remotely

Emil Moe Here's what I did before I joined Hashnode. Created my own website, added my portfolio (with descriptions what I did) Started writing blogs - to be specific, I started writing my own case studies and how I managed tasks I had to do. The latest blog I wrote had over 1.1k visits and brought me 4 job offers (before Hashnode). Be active on social media - Join relevant groups for your expertise and share your thoughts and blogs there. Basically, I gained all the traffic through social media for my blog without spending a single cent on advertising. Basically, you have Devblog that does everything for you in terms of blogging. You just have to focus on positioning yourself through social media. During the next week, I'll launch a new blog post for Hashnode users, which will somehow be related to your question. Hope I gave you some ideas to think about. We can reach out through messages so I can give you more insights on these topics :)

Joseph S Stevens Here are my thoughts about this topic: Learning by doing - Building a team culture where people do mistakes is a really hard task to do, but it demands a consistent approach. Encourage them to fail. If everything worked right, we'd all be out of a job, wouldn't we? Team effort - Teamwork makes the dream work. By working closely enough, everyone will be able to be supportive once the failure occurs. On my first task, I failed miserably. Lucky enough, I had people who started laughing and encouraged me to fail even more. Knockbacks - Someone will always come and knock us on the ground. And yes... it is demotivating. But you have a chance to mitigate this pressure. This will 100% happen at some point, and you know it yourself. Get your team prepared in advance and it wouldn't be as big of a problem. Bonding as a team - Look it on a bright side... If you made a mistake, you just found out one way that doesn't work. Grab a beer🍺 and celebrate! If it worked perfectly, well, team dinner time! Stress release - Find something that will completely shift your thoughts from work. For me, music, football, basketball, and longer walks are functioning very well (not to mention a couple of beers🍺🍻). And remember one thing: just because you're lead doesn't mean that everything needs to come from you. Be an example that you want your teammates to be. Hope you find this useful!

Very pleased to be part of this dedicated and outstanding community <3
