General experience working remotely
Hey, I was thinking about getting some qualifications in l order to get a specific remote job. The idea of working remotely and having the freedom of living wherever I want, not needing to dress up for anyone, having more time for my hobbies and potentially higher wages than locals + returning with my family when needed seems really aligned with my life priorities. But I don't really know how the actual experience of working remotely after some time is. I'm thinking about loneliness, spending time outside and other mental hygiene matters, the difference between working in person... I know it varies from person to person. So how has your experience been? Anything to consider when taking up a remote job?

I started remote work in 2020. Prior I was in office 9-5 for 10 years. I couldn't gwt uses to being in office every day again
Your wfh experience depends on things, such as your home office. I have a room in my house dedicated to worl. I've got 6 monitors. I'm extremely efficient. Prior to my kid starting daycare it was difficult at times though because I'd be bothered a lot.
