A year after getting my first remote job, I realized that there was no way I could ever move back to an in office setting. No more commute, no more traffic, no more office drama, etc. On top of that, I had a much increased productivity and focus - all while being infinitely more relaxing and less stressful. So I left the medium sized city I lived in, sold my moderately expensive house, and picked a small town over an hour away with a rural fiber build out, and bought a much larger property with tons of room for my kids to run around on, with a larger house, for much less money than my previous house. I’ve been working remote for a few years now and don’t regret any of my decisions, and wouldn’t change a thing. In my opinion the advantage to technical remote work is that you get to choose the location that works for you - meaning you’re no longer tied to cities and large tech hubs. If you’re like me and don’t like or enjoy cities, remote is the way to go
