Bend, Oregon is apparently the remote work capital of the US, according to statistics compiled by one of the Oregon state economists who - it turns out - works remotely from Bend rather than in Salem or Portland.
IDK... I've done remote work too, but I now have a job in an office and it makes me happier to be around other people, and to be able to chat about stuff in a higher bandwidth way.
- VWWHFSfQ 7y agoI've experienced both remote work from another state in a house I owned and working in the company office in Manhattan for extended periods. Working in the office was massively better for my daily mood and mental health than working at home all the time. Just little things like getting up to go get an afternoon coffee with the people I work with. When I worked at home sometimes I wouldn't even leave the house for two or three days at time.
