Noémie, a Talent Acquisition Manager at Strapi, shares her journey of working remotely from Portugal after joining the company in February 2022. Initially planning to explore the US in 2020, her plans were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading her to discover the appeal of remote work, which she found at Strapi. She was impressed by the company's openness to employees working from different countries, provided legal requirements were met, which aligned with her desire for geographical flexibility. Her fluency in Spanish and interest in Portuguese culture led her to choose Portugal as her remote work location. Strapi facilitated her move, although it did not cover relocation costs, allowing her to maintain her work routine seamlessly from Lisbon, where she continued her recruitment duties and even earned a promotion. Her experience in Lisbon, professionally unchanged yet personally enriching, underscored the value of remote work opportunities and highlighted the trust and dedication required for such arrangements. She expresses gratitude for the chance to immerse herself in a new culture while continuing to contribute to Strapi's international team.
