Summer is over, y'all. 😿 Time to refocus on work or restart your job search. Use this September to reboot your life and make it better.

The Remotive team went on our first-ever company retreat this year. Yay! 🙌 I wrote an article about the experience, then turned it into a video. Let me know what you think.

My favorite remote work perk is being able to pick up my laptop and go! I’m visiting my cousin right now and somehow staying productive while her 1-year-old toddles around me. Maybe next month I’ll be sipping Mai Tais in Ibiza.🍹🏖️😉
