People with relatively little experience are some of the worst candidates for remote positions. Not saying anything about you in particular, but they tend to need more guidance and get stuck more easily. Not only that, there's a lot of learning though osmosis that won't happen when they're not near other people.

Understandable, at what level of experience do you consider remote an option? In my current position I am a ‘tech lead’ (not as glamorous as it sounds) most of the people I mentor have little engineering experience (most people come from a operations or scripting background). I am an OK programmer but I have good organisational skills and wrote a lot of code before starting work so I have a bit of ‘unofficial’ experience, therefore I was chosen I think. I have a lot te learn still but overall I think I am good at my job. Just wondering what I can do to increase my salary.
