Remote Work Conversations with Fexingo: Distributed Teams, Hybrid Schedules, and Async Workflows

How Remote Workers Can Use Career Experiments to Find Their Next Move


Listen Later

Episode 77 of Remote Work Conversations tackles a challenge every remote worker faces: you're doing good work, but you're not sure what's next. Instead of waiting for a promotion or a job posting, Lucas and Luna explore the concept of 'career experiments' — small, low-risk projects that test a new direction without quitting your current role. Lucas shares the story of a senior marketing manager at a SaaS company who spent 10 hours a week for six weeks writing a pricing model for a hypothetical product line — and ended up pivoting into product management at the same company. Luna pushes back on whether this works for people who aren't in growth-stage companies, and Lucas counters with examples from a state university administrator and a freelance graphic designer. They discuss how to design an experiment with a clear hypothesis, a time box, and a concrete output — and how to use the results to make a case internally or externally. The episode closes with a forward-looking question about when a string of experiments becomes a pattern worth committing to. If you've ever felt stuck in a remote role but unsure what to try next, this episode gives you a practical framework to start exploring.
