The pros and cons of working remotely from a significantly different timezone to the main team:
Pro:
- chunks of work to complete without interruption
- flexibility about precisely when during the day the work gets done
- better documentation
- async communication
- fewer meetings
Con
- a 7:30am (your time) meeting being cancelled while you're asleep which means you still need to get up during school holidays only to see that it's cancelled.
