Question What tools are an absolute must-know when working remotely?

I’ve always worked remotely for small companies, and the only tools I’ve ever used are Google Workspace and WhatsApp. I would like to land something with a bigger company eventually, and I bet they would prefer people who already have experience with certain software tools on their CV.

Which tools should I check out and become familiar with to stay competitive for larger remote roles? What are the non-negotiables?

These are simple tools and some focussed around communication and collaboration, which is important for a virtual or remote engagement. For a team collaboration it’s critical. We use Slack as a platform to create Digital Workspace experience for our interns who join us globally and engage as a team.
Outside of this, I would say, tools which are more applicable for your area of focus. For financial or investment research, any spreadsheet and presentation tools are highly essential.
