Agreed. This exact scenario happened to me. I lost a great deal of things in the fire. The only thing I miss is the quilt my frandmother.made for me. I still get upset about it.

Nice! I'm so glad you've applied. Good luck!
VirtruTyler··on Who is hiring remote workers?
You're absolutely right, and those people are more than welcome to apply as well. If our posting implies that drinking beers with your fellow engineers is a hard requirement then that was a mistake on our part.

Your personal preferences, though, are a wonderful example of just how lucky you and I are to work in this industry; Our skills are so sought after, that we have an abundance of options available to us to find that exact right fit. Maybe Virtru isn't the ideal place for you to work, but I'm certain there are an abundance of places where you'd feel right at home.

Anyway, I genuinely appreciate the feedback and I'll pass it on to those responsible for our job postings to see if they'd like to make any changes.

Take care!

Fair point. We do have a handful of engineers local to the DC area. Also a couple times per year our remote employees have the option to join us here in DC for festivities on our dime.

One of the members of our team is an award winning grill master, so naturally we bought a smoker for our office parties. Anyway, the point is that we do occasionally get together for delicious food, beer, and geek out time. :)

I'm one of the engineers, and can honestly say it's a great company to work for.
