A while back I was on vacation while also doing contract work. I remember exploring Montreal, banging out designs on hostel or cafe wifi, exploring the city and meeting people while also being productive when i felt like being alone. It's probably the happiest memory I have of that year.
Would have loved to pivot to that full time if the guy I worked for hadn't turned out to be unreliable. It's still a fond fantasy to find an arrangement like that again somehow.
- swozey 7y agoI've done a few stints where I traveled and worked full-time. I'd use the weekends once a month to move between airbnbs in different State/Cities and it didn't affect my work at all, 9-6+ m-f I was available and online. It's actually my favorite way to work. I can show up in offices when necessary, specifically target staying in cities where there might be a satellite office if I need to, etc, then move on once I feel the urge. I'm not sure Gitlabs COL rule caters to this sort of situation at all. I'd prefer an employer to have no concern whatsoever as to where my "permanent" residence is, albeit that of course complicates HR/legal things.
