Huh, weird. I haven't seen the remote part. I might have missed it though? I saw london or stocolm.

Fun fact: I wanted to help in making the nextcloud accessibility better, as a tester as well as throwing new ideas on the table to improve the experience. Since I have disabilities myself, I know exactly what disabled users might be facing, you know? They booted me off because I can't code.

I have the feeling this job however isn't asking for coding so much as testing and actual suggestions for improvements. Reviewing code isn't the same as coding it myself, if that makes sense?

I have no prior experience as any sort of accessibility tester, or engineering, because I was never let looss, basically. :D

@xogium darn. Maybe not. It does say on the page "Are you interested in working out of any of the following office locations? Our job description will have location eligibility for the role. If the role is remote eligible and you wish to be remote, please leave blank." I just don't think they expose that as a choice for the job application on this position, quite a shame as it was there when I was hired on.

@tardis @xogium so many companies are rolling them back, it's a bit shocking. So far I guess Spotify is doing that for new hires (not sure if it's some or all jobs though, I can't say 100%,) I just hope they keep me on as remote because moving to either London, Stockholm or the NYC offices would really make me look around at that point. Remote was one of the reasons I was so comfortable taking it when I began.

@jscholes That part even shocked me considering I'm in the US (So our team would have a London/EU split) but maybe they're wanting another engineer who works in that region so someone is awake for the EU timezones during the day and not just afternoon like I am. No indication that they're getting rid of remote work considering how distributed teams are and have been at Spotify since it started in 2006, but who knows with how tech companies are going.
