As the adage goes, 'Out of sight, out of mind.' For many remote employees, the absence of physical presence is a genuine concern when it comes to considerations for promotions, raises, and more significant opportunities. If you are approaching a work from home situation, show the interviewer that you envision yourself growing with the organization by asking questions about future opportunities.

The way a hiring manager answers this question could tell you a lot about the company's viewpoint regarding remote employees and what level they will value your work.

If you get the indication that leadership roles, promotions, and even more subtle perks are not as readily available to work-from-home employees, you will want to ask more questions such as:

- In what ways had the company invested in its remote employees' growth over the past 12 months?
- What are your retention rates for off-site employees compared to in-office workers?
- How many of your remote employees received growth opportunities in the last 12 months compared to in-office employees?
- What percentage of your leadership team works remotely on a full-time basis?
- Will I have the chance to win significant projects/bigger clients/more generous budgets while working off-site?

Give these factors a lot of thought, especially if you have significant goals around an upward career trajectory.
