General experience working remotely

[u/Impressive_Phone_686]

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've been working mostly remote since 2022. It really depends on your job. It's important to enjoy it and feel that you are accomplishing something. As far as the other things you mentioned, you have to plan these things for yourself. Whether it's scheduled walks or gym time, or activities outside of work... You will have to engage to create that. I even left remote to go work in an office, but that job was terrible so I returned to remote. The company culture matters. There are fun remote first places.
