Ask HN: Why the lack of remote work?

I've found the reverse to be true, there's tons of remote options (with the possible exception of security driven work).

Forget the job boards, focus instead on reaching out to senior executives at interesting companies that you can help. Point of strategy-- attend conferences and meetups in major markets for networking.

No need to justify your home base location. But if it helps your narrative, 'I'm a Dad raising a young daughter, my commitment is to stay here.' Subtle message, I'm dependable.

thanks jSeymourATL - I had thought about using LinkedIn to extend my reach - I work in the payments industry (card issuance & processing) so my knowledge is specialized to a degree.

Thanks for the help - I will keep in touch with you.

My team is a small group (3-5 devs). We have kicked around going freelance separately and as a group.

Atlanta is big in the payments industry correct? I previously worked for First Data / with a unit that was driving 50K ATMS at one point and issuing cards for 120 banks. I was on the issuing side.
