Where were you when I took my first remote job?! I had the misfortunate of working on a team that was mostly colocated ANDDDDD in a completely different time zone. 11 hours ahead.

North America vs Asia.

Talk about isolation. Don't do it folks.

IMHO there needs to be at least two hours of overlap for remote teams in different time zones to be feasible. This can work if one of the teams adjusts their schedule to fit, but otherwise it leaves the remote team out in the cold.
