I wonder if I've had an unusual start to my career wrt remote work. My career began remote, stayed that way until my employer enforced RTO still during COVID-19... which I proceeded to follow for about 2 weeks before moving to Finland for some reason, where WFH is more the rule than the exception for software jobs.
On the other hand, WFH is the only reason I have any desire to do 10-11 hour days, because I genuinely like working but only from the comfort of my own home. Even when I was in high school I preferred to skip class to read the textbook instead.
- jimmydddd 3y agoI was the same in high school. I always did well in classes that followed the text book, because I would just read it and learn the material at home. Teachers who didn't follow the book and tested from their notes always gave me a problem. :-)
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agoThey were the worst! Luckily I had less and less of them as I got older.
- HomeDeLaPot 3y agoFor some reason? Did you just go to sleep one night and wake up to find yourself in Finland? :)
- gryn 3y agohe probably doesn't want to delve into it because it's not relevant the his point or a private matter. btw, is your name a pun on "Home De_pot" ?
- HomeDeLaPot 3y agoYes and yes. Just needed a unique username!
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>moving to Finland for some reason, where WFH is more the rule than the exception for software jobs Maybe I should move to Finland. Here in Austria the norm is working in the office and WFH the rare exception.
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agoI'd recommend it if you're like me and basically only care about having a quiet life with your family. I'm on the extreme end of not enjoying big events, though, to the point where I didn't even attend my own birth.
