Editors Note
This issue is for every delivery leader who has ever led a retrospective from their kitchen table, built roadmaps from the nursery, or turned on Zoom with a toddler on their hip.
As a new mom, remote work isn’t a luxury but a lifeline. I don’t abuse the flexibility. We have childcare. However, having the space to recover from postpartum and navigate uncomfortable moments in peace gave me the dignity and stability I needed to show up fully. Remote work allowed me to heal, bond, and lead.
However, remote roles have steadily declined. LinkedIn and Indeed report significant drops in remote job listings since 2022, but the demand for remote work hasn’t. 93% of tech professionals want remote or hybrid options (FlexJobs, 2024). We’re seeing increased competition globally for fewer remote roles. That doesn’t mean game over; it just means we move differently. In this issue, we’ll show you how.
