I’ve worked at home my whole career. First by necessity and then by choice. If I happened to live in the same city as my job, I’d be happy to come in one or two days a week. But I’d never accept having to come into the office every day. I hate driving in traffic and I don’t get much done in the office.
Working remote has let me live and travel wherever I want. I’m planning a three to six month working vacation to Asia / Australia for near the end of the year. I currently live in a cheap cost of living location, with extremely low taxes, near family, and work in a high salary location. Best of all worlds.
- imperfect_light 3y agoI wish that "working remote" translated into "live and travel wherever I want" for everyone. So many companies now have policies that restrict where you work from for tax/payroll purposes, or because they don't want employees working in country where the employee doesn't have the proper visa (even if working for a US company).
- doitLP 3y agoEasy. Just don’t tell them. They only care if they officially have to.
- radiator 3y agoI like this. Don't ask, don't tell. Occasionally someone might notice that your IP address seems to be in a foreign coutry, though.

- slashdev 3y agoYup, this. Plus it makes your coworkers jealous when you're in a different exotic locale every week, and that's not helpful.
