Less dramatically, I'm planning to move to a more rural part of England, where I will be able to rent a 2 bed house with garden for almost half of what I'm paying now for a 1 bed flat.
But I'm fully aware this will be a temporary move, lest I give up most of my career prospects. Job opportunities, networking, contacts... all of them are way lower in the countryside compared to the big city. Also I do believe that remote workers are at a disadvantage in terms of career progression compared with collocated workers.
Unless company cultures change significantly and it is possible to have the same career success fully remote, I won't be moving away for long anytime soon.
- blunte 6y agoWhat I did occasionally as a long-term remote worker was live someplace lovely (and cheap), an then visit some meetups periodically to stay in contact with people.
- s1t5 6y agoSimilar situation - still sharing in London and thinking how for the same amount I can have a whole flat to myself somewhere else in the UK. It's kind of difficult to plan things if I expect to move back to London in 6 months or so.
