Working remotely turned out to be the perk I never knew I wanted. I get back 3-4 hours a day that I would spend commuting, I have much better options for food at home, I get to see a lot more of my wife then I used to. And it makes sense - all of the infrastructure I work with is in the cloud, I haven’t had to roll out a crash cart in a data center in a decade. Almost everyone I work with is overseas, I don’t need to be in the office to have a zoom meeting with them. I’m very tempted to relocate someplace like Virginia which is absolutely beautiful but I would have not considered before because there isn’t much for me to do there professionally (I had to look up what “rockwool” was). The only thing that worries me is that if I relocate myself and the work-from-home movement fizzles out or someone decides I need a salary reduction because I live in a less expensive area then I’m stuck.
