Also, some flexibility to WFH is nice.
A friend and I are starting to do "workcations" several times per year (he typically works in office, I work 100% remotely).
We go somewhere, work our during the day then go do something in the evenings - typically skiing or mountain biking. It's an amazing setup. We both typically get more done at work, because we're focused and wanting to get to our evening activity. 4 hours of skiing or biking in the evening is more than enough (especially when we do it 8 days straight).
That is one perk, I will never give up. Working on a 100% remote team has made me care about vacation days much less. Instead of taking a 3 to 4 day trip somewhere, I'll simply take a full week and work during the day (possibly still taking some time off.)
- rexarex 7y agoWhere are you finding all the good night skiing?
- mattio 7y agoBrighton, UT has some night time skiing (I think until 9 pm).
- loco5niner 7y agoMt Hood is about 1.5 hours outside of Portland, OR and has good night skiing.
- rjsw 7y agoI have done night skiing when I worked in Detroit.
- SkyPuncher 7y agoMy wife and I moved to Wausau, WI for her residency. Granite Peak is pretty much in our backyard. It's a midwest "mountain" but it does the job. Extremely nice to get out for an hour after work. Many of the midwest hills near major cities have night skiing nearly every day of the week. Steamboat is probably the most well known "big resort".
- Plyphon_ 7y agoThis sounds incredible. I'm more annoyed I've never thought to do this myself.
- SkyPuncher 7y agoIt's a really nice setup. We try to plan it around a low-cost lodging option (one of our houses or a family cottage). You end up with a week long vacation for basically the cost of travel (at least for biking).
- xchaotic 7y agoif you go East from where the client is based, it is easier to do biking/hiking/skiing in the mornings, before work at HQ starts, due to the timezones. It is also cooler in the summer and usually less busy. I am tired physically but refreshed mentally before the work even starts.
