🧠 Remote Work Gets Smarter

Hey there 👋,

This week, we explore how remote work is transforming in 2025, from Coinbase's strategic hybrid hiring to Gen Z's challenges with remote isolation, and the tech upgrades redefining hybrid offices. Here's what remote-first B2B leaders need to know.

📍 Coinbase Targets Hybrid Talent Hubs

Key Highlights:

• Coinbase plans to hire over 130 employees in Charlotte, focusing on compliance and customer support roles.

• The move aligns with the company's strategy to tap into cities with strong fintech talent pools.

• CEO Brian Armstrong emphasizes hiring in locations that offer a wealth of tech expertise, particularly in banking and insurance.

Why It Matters:
Coinbase's approach underscores a shift towards hybrid hiring strategies, even for remote-first companies. By focusing on talent-rich cities, businesses can balance remote flexibility with the benefits of localized expertise. This strategy may become a blueprint for other remote-first B2B companies aiming to optimize talent acquisition.
